This week on The Young Perspective, we’re cutting through three very different but connected cultural flashpoints — from ultra-expensive “wellness” experiences, to growing cash skepticism, to the UK’s radical plan for a smoke-free generation.

We’re joined by D’Arcy Richardson to ask the uncomfortable question: are these ideas actually progress… or just polished storytelling that doesn’t hold up in the real world?

We cover:
• Meghan Markle’s $3,200 wellness event — empowerment or premium branding?
• Why more Australians are quietly drifting back toward cash
• Whether “Cash Out Day” signals real banking distrust or online noise
• The UK’s proposed lifetime cigarette ban for future generations
• And whether big policy ideas survive contact with real behaviour

At the centre of it all is a simple tension: trust — in brands, in systems, and in the rules we’re being asked to live by.
