Corporate Wellness Reimagined: Holistic Approaches to Health Equity
In this episode of The Healthy Project Podcast, Corey Dion Lewis sits down with Paula Bell, aka Ninja P, a seasoned business consultant and wellness advocate, to explore the disconnect between corporate wellness initiatives and true health equity. Paula shares her journey from corporate America to becoming a health and wellness entrepreneur. She offers unique insights into how companies can better support their employees holistically—beyond just gym memberships and basic health coaching. They dive deep into mental health, the importance of mindset, and innovative ways smaller businesses can collaborate with larger corporations to bring wellness to underserved communities.
