As the celebratory vaccination pics flood our grids, life beyond Covid feels so tantalisingly near we can almost smell it. But dare we? After more than a year of lockdowns, social distancing and isolation, working from home, masks, long queues just about everywhere, hand sanitiser, 2m gaps, tiers, three word governmental slogans... and all the rest! What exactly IS the new normal? What can we expect life beyond Covid to look like? And just how might we be feeling as we approach it? Relieved? Ecstatic? Anxious? Confused? Yep - probably a bit of all of that. We discuss the emotional debt we might pay for being in survival mode for so long, whilst losing so much. A tidal wave of emotion at the very point we can finally relax. Just as we find 'freedom' - BAM! It's confusing, it's complicated, but it's normal. And we'll need permission for whatever bubbles up! We hope this episode gives you that.

Join me @biglucook and my guests @jenwrensquirrel and @mattcrossmanuk as we do just that.
