When Change Crashes In Uninvited. How To Respond Before It Overwhelms You
04/25/25 • 19 min
As we've already shared on this podcast, there are two types of change. The first is the kind we initiate, one we seek out and work toward with intention. The second is the kind that arrives without warning, uninvited and unexpected. At first glance, these two types of change may seem like opposite sides of the same coin, but they share one undeniable truth: you'll have to deal with both.
In today's episode of Connecting the Golden Dots, we talk about how to prepare ourselves for the kind of change that breaks into our lives, kicking the door, and the importance of self-advocacy when dealing with our health. We also go through the finishing touches of the last episode, as we cover how to allergy-proof our house. You'll hear tips and practical advice on creating an allergy-free environment and a real-life example of the importance of self-advocating for your health.
Episode takeaways:
- Why it is crucial to fight humidity if you suffer from allergies (2:30)
- How often do you change your bedding? (3:50)
- When was the last time you changed your AC filters? (5:00)
- Dealing with unexpected change (7:30)
