It's 2020, we're all at least a little stressed. Pandemics, presidential elections, social issues, killer bees, you name it 2020 has had it.

In this episode, we take a look at some common stressors and what to do when you realize you're stressed.

The Netflix documentary, the Social Dilemma, has brought social media into the spotlight and not for good reasons. With the rise of social media has come the rise in depression, anxiety, and polarization. But how does this impact our day-to-day life? How does social media alter our productivity?

We've all seen these hyper "productive" people bragging about their 80 work weeks, meanwhile running marathons and volunteering on their time off. Social media has the ability to take these anomalies and place them right in front of us swipe after swipe. When we look at all they do after we just spent the day watching tv and sleeping in it can make us feel guilty. We're here to talk to you about why you shouldn't feel guilty and how to forgive yourself for those days that you're "wasting time."

We are constantly bombarded with messages from the media about working harder. Just drink our energy drink, stay up a little later, or buy our product and you will be a productivity machine!

This period of time has pushed a lot of companies to re-think what a corporate office looks like. It looks less like an open workspace and more like a Zoom meeting.
