There are big side effects that come with drastically changing your life.

And if you're not ready for them, they might just send you running back to the life you were

running away from. Let's talk about it.

Sogum. Welcome back to SoulGum, the self-development podcast with philosophical, psychological, and literary flair.

I'm your host, Victoria Hutchins. My goal is to give your soul something to chew on. And today, we are talking about the warnings no one gives you about changing your life.

We've been talking a lot lately about making big changes, whether it's quitting a job,

moving to a new city, leaving a relationship, starting on some big dream.

And if you click this episode, maybe you are someone who is seeking big dream. And if you clicked this episode,

maybe you are someone who is seeking big change,

or you're preparing for a big change.

And that is beautiful, and it's brave.

And I want it for you.

I want it to be everything you hope it will be.

But I also want you to be prepared.

Because change, even when it's good change, change you've been craving and wishing for and working towards, big change has big side effects. And if you don't see them coming, they might make you think that you've

made the wrong choice. They might throw you off track. So in this episode, I'm going to talk about

six warnings. I wish someone had told me before I completely changed my life.

And that feels like a good segue to give y'all a little life update.

I normally don't do that, but I want to today because y'all make believe comes out in two days.

I can't believe it.
