If It's Stressing You Out, That’s Not Wellness (Rebroadcast)

After three days of frustrating tech issues and a failed upload of a brand-new episode, I’m taking it as a sign and also a moment to pause. I’m stepping back for a break, and possibly longer than just the summer. But before I go offline, I want to leave you with this important message.This rebroadcast episode originally aired almost two years ago, but the message? It couldn’t be more timely.Over the weekend, I saw a well-known wellness influencer/Pilates instructor share a reel with messaging like:“Are you tired or just lazy?”"Are you really too busy or do you not want it bad enough."“If you don’t like what you see in the mirror, change it.”It was upsetting, especially in 2025. We know better. I would never talk to my daughters this way , so why would I talk to myself like that?It is a great reminder to remember, we might all be in the same storm but we are not all in the same boat. Some are in yachts, some are on boats, some in canoes, and some are drowning. In this episode, I’m reminding you: • There’s no one-size-fits-all wellness routine • If it stresses you out, it’s not actually wellness • Unfollow what no longer aligns • Stop letting wellness become a full-time jobThis message is personal. And as I take a break from the podcast, I hope it supports you in checking in with yourself and redefining what your version of wellness truly looks like.Follow Nikki on her socials:www.instagram.com/fitfunandfrazzledpodcastwww.instagram.com/nikkilanigan.yogaandwellnessSubstack - https://substack.com/@nikkilanigan/posts
