It's a nice thought to think that some things never change. However, change is inevitable and we are often faced with periods of transition & change in our lifetime. Some changes in our lives are in pursuit of a fresh start and initiate new periods of growth. Other times we are catapulted into times where change is unwanted and resisted. This week's episode, I dive deep into the topic of change & periods of transition to bring you content that is centered around the benefits & difficulties of change. Topics in this week's episode include… ✨Seeking fresh starts ✨Unwanted change ✨Resistance to change ✨Transition periods ✨Examining “self” through the lens of change ✨Avoiding “romanticized change” ✨Staying in touch with your authentic self Feel free to follow Wellness Check on Instagram @wellnesscheckpodcast to stay up to date with the latest details & episodes!

Trigger Warning ⚠️ The content of this episode does touch on difficult subjects such as chronic illness & death. Grief. A natural emotional response that occurs in the wake of loss. In this week's solo episode, Allison takes a dive into her own lived experience with grief & loss. In this episode she discusses the non-linear journey of grief, different forms of grief & a bit of her own life story. This episode is raw, vulnerable and an honest look at some recent life-altering events. With that being said, it is a good reminder that here at Wellness Check we believe that vulnerability can bring us closer together & that we can learn from each other's stories. May this episode resonates with you in some way & may you know you are not alone. With light & love
