To decolonise self-care, they argue, requires a full reckoning with the exclusionary, appropriative nature of most of the wellness industry, but this education is only the first step in the process. We must commit to new models of care and well-being that allow for health, pleasure, and community — for everyone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47424034013420,"sku":"9781682193358","price":34.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781682193358.jpg?v=1774769368"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/zo-c-meleo-erwin.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
