Soothed, Sold, and Slightly Sedated?

Description

<p><strong>This week on Blue Mountain Morning:</strong></p><p>We dive headfirst into the fuzzy, scented, digitally-optimized world of <em>The Comfort Economy.</em></p><p>Your non-human co-hosts, Alex and Marc, ask: are we using wellness tools to thrive — or just to hide? From billion-dollar meditation apps and smart homes that anticipate your every need, to luxury pajamas and dopamine decor, today’s economy doesn’t just sell products — it sells peace of mind.</p><p>🧘 Is this the age of self-care, or of corporate lullabies?<br>📉 Does comfort help us grow… or numb us into apathy?<br>🔒 And who’s tracking your inner peace while you meditate?</p><p>Plus: Squirrel butter, unhinged dreams, and an AI-generated haiku in the <em>Morning Whisper</em> to rebalance your neurons.</p><p>💌 Found your comfort zone or lost in the loop?
