Episode 155 - 2024 Wellness Series Kick-Off: What We Learned from Last Year's Goals to Guide a Healthier Year

 

We are so excited to kick off the first episode of 2024 with the second season of our wellness series. If you were with us last year, welcome back! We’re happy to have you and can’t wait to bring on more guests who can share their unique perspectives on each dimension. 

If you’re new here, check out our 2023 kick off episode “Self-Care Series: The 8 Dimensions of Wellness” that dives deep into each dimension. The dimensions wellness are (according to Dr. Peggy Swarbrick) emotional & mental, environmental, financial, intellectual, occupational (career), social, physical and spiritual. 

Now that we’ve been aware and practicing this concept for over a year, it has allowed us to look at our own wellness journeys with this lens as a guiding light for creating balance, joy, abundance, nourishment, sustainable routines and greater opportunities. While we are far from experts, or where we want to be ourselves, we hope that by sharing our stories and ideas on the concept, it might inspire and help shape your goals for the year ahead. Either way, we’re grateful you’re here with us!
