In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, we're lucky enough to have special guest and Licensed Clinical Social Worker Jessie Timmons (she/her) to help us navigate the wilds of our shared collective trauma, share themes she's observing as we emerge from our respective quarantine bunkers, and the realities of navigating shifting relationships in the midst of it all. 

Content warnings include acute and chronic trauma, global pandemic, and long-term isolation.
