The Wellness Industry is Splitting in Two. Here's What Coaches Need to Know. (ft. Paul Chamberlain)
Here's a compelling podcast description for this episode:
The wellness industry is experiencing a seismic shift, and as coaches, we need to understand what's happening now.
In this eye-opening episode, Lumia Coaching founder Noelle Cordeaux sits down with futurist and Lumia alum Paul Chamberlain (Smart Funny Tortured) to explore the two major trends reshaping wellness in 2025.
(Spoiler alert: every prediction Noelle has made about the wellness industry over the past decade has come true, so you'll want to pay attention to this one.)
We dive deep into the "anti-optimization" movement... a powerful consumer shift away from high-tech, expensive wellness toward low-pressure, human-centered experiences where social and mental wellbeing matter most.
Paul shares insights from his new framework "Smart Funny Tortured," designed for the growing population of people who were told to "pick one path" but now need to navigate a world that rewards generalists and synthesizers.
Whether you're a seasoned coach or just starting out, this episode will help you understand where the biggest opportunities lie for making a real impact in people's lives.

While half the market chases high-tech optimization, the other half is desperately seeking analog everything.

Discover the teen wellness crisis creating unprecedented coaching opportunities, why companies are finally implementing digital disconnection policies, and how coaches are becoming "social first responders" in our increasingly disconnected world. From wellness tourism to workspace wellness, there's a fundamental shift in how humans want to live, happening NOW.
