339: How to keep going in this pandemic with Shannon Connery, PhD

I am excited to bring Shannon Connery, PhD, onto the show today, because she's got lots of great ideas to help you keep going! (Click here for Shannon's website, where you'll find her podcast, her blog, and a wonderful free guide that she offers to help people overcome the challenges that we all have in our lives : ) Shannon is a therapist living in Colorado, and in our conversation today you'll hear her story of losing nearly everything – and coming back stronger from that experience. Shannon is also a podcaster, and her Fix Yourself is one of my favorites – she helps us all know what to do when we encounter difficult events and struggles in our lives. Shannon shares so much about herself, and her feelings, and what she's tried that works to keep going and to help her family members and patients thrive. Today we talk about: – The role of empathy and positivity in helping you keep going – Steps we are taking (and that you can also take) to dismantle racism – What Shannon is doing to help those that she works with through the pandemic Join us! Video of our conversations – as well as lots of key links from this conversation – are available at weturnedoutokay.com/339 A couple notes from the preshow segment: – Registration is now open for the private coaching practice for parents that I run (the Ninja Parenting Community), so you can join now if you need the extra help from a child development expert, and the support of a wonderful online community! weturnedoutokay.com/joinNPC – All throughout July I'm offering free live trainings, and even a free challenge!
