On this week's #comeback episode we sit with Hanna to talk about how we've navigated through the last 5 months of a pandemic - which have felt like 10 years, we discussed how we met, touched on the podcast start up fears and how she motivated me and encouraged me to JUST GO FOR IT! We talked about transparency when you approach someone to collaborate, having pivoted through the most difficult time as an entrepeneur (eat or get eaten), feeling lost through the isolation of the covid social distancing (fear based conditioning), touched on the overall global pandemic & racial war (systematic oppression). Hanna dropped a HUGE gem when she shared, "Not every interaction is supposed to be a transaction."

Without a doubt, many of us are feeling anxious as we navigate the uncertainty of the coronavirus (COVID-19). I’m feeling it too, and I wanted to share some of the tools I’m using to take care of my mind and stay grounded. It’s normal to be unsettled and concerned about what’s going on around us. Humans find comfort and safety in the predictability of the routines of daily living. As our lives have dramatically changed overnight, many are struggling with finding ways to deal with the new reality. How can we respond to the coronavirus situation in a way that will preserve our psychological well-being? I came up with a list of science-based approaches that have helped me and can certainly help you too! With care and planning, we, too, can stay psychologically strong during the pandemic and perhaps even grow from this transformative experience. I hope you find these tips useful & of value! Until next week!
