Listen Later

Right now there’s so much uncertainty and fear. It feels like everywhere we turn there’s more news about the Coronavirus and we don’t know what will happen next. As we all practice social distancing, many people are feeling uneasy about the current state of the world. In this episode, Jessi shares a few tips for how to stay sane during social distancing. She talks about using this time to slow down, rest, reflect and ultimately spend time with those in your immediate family. She makes suggestions for connecting with friends via video chats and getting your body moving. She also discusses why you should maintain a routine as much as possible even when working from home (and shares a thank you for all of the people who are working right now to help hold together our world).
