As a mom, I know I do better when I feel accomplished. So if you haven't yet, listen to my first Covid19 podcast, then join me as we dive deeper in Managing Time in a Crisis.

What are we needing to remove, change, or distract ourselves from. Let's manage or day together and seize this crisis for the better!
