    010: Bookworms Unite! - Reading for Wellness and Our Favorite Books!

    From our earliest days of learning the ins-and-outs of the alphabet, we have been programmed to treat reading as an essential life skill. And for good reason - in today's digitized world, where everything from catching up on news to communicating with friends and family is done through text on our phones, reading has become omnipresent in our lives. But how about the lost art of reading books? In the tenth episode of Wellspring, Adithi and Matt explore how reading books can serve as an important part of your wellness journey. Highlights include Adithi's medieval history addiction, Matt's past sagas with It by Stephen King and Crime and Punishment, and ways to spark a renewal of reading ~for fun~ as an adult!  Follow us on @wellspringpod on Instagram and @wellspringpodcast on TikTok for more content and discussion of the episode as always!

    009: The Pet Effect - How an Animal Companion Can Boost your Wellness

    It's time to add our four-legged friends to the wellness picture! Pets can play such a pivotal role on our personal journeys toward wellness through the positive impact they can have on our physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In our ninth episode of Wellspring, Adithi and Matt invite their first guest onto the podcast: Anna, a friend of the podcast and pet enthusiast.

    008: Time to Get Social - A Closer Look at Social Media Wellness

    Social media is frequently painted by society as a purely negative force on our mental health and wellness. However, current research says that this isn't quite the complete picture. In our eighth episode of Wellspring, we dive into social media, and the different ways in which connecting with others digitally over Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, etc. can have either a positive or negative impact on our lives. We also share our personal social media journeys, with all of their ups and downs, and explain the role that social media platforms currently play in our daily lives.
