The Six Senses Global Wellness Director, Susie Arnett, on Burnout, Wellness, AI and Being Human

Susie Arnett spent the first half of her career at MTV, Lifetime Television, and HBO, before walking away at the peak of it, taking a solo kayak trip to Baja, and never going back.

In this episode, Susie sits down with Belinda to talk about what she learned building a media career, then a decade in retreat centers, and now global wellness programming at Six Senses: that the thing people actually want isn't information or a ten-step framework, it's to feel genuinely cared for.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why Susie says emotional hospitality isn't about what you do, it's about how you hold it, and what that looks like inside Six Senses properties

• What burning out at the peak of her TV career, and a solo kayak retreat in Baja, taught her about starting over

• Why she doesn't believe in one-size-fits-all wellness, and why “getting more men through the door” was the wrong question all along

• The piece of parenting advice she still uses today as a framework for prioritizing when everything feels urgent at once

• Why she believes information has gotten cheap, and real human experience is now the rarest thing any brand can offer

• What she's building toward next: helping people age with dignity, not just safety

By the end, you'll understand why Susie thinks the real risk right now isn't AI, it's forgetting what it means to be human.
