Rerooting

Chloé shares what it feels like to experience anxiety and strategies that have worked for her. Tina and her then share 10 strategies on how to manage intense feelings.  

Tina shares how she felt when she saw Chloé's report card. 

Chloé and Tina discuss why creating closure around this school year is important and they provide you with 5 suggestions.  

We have relied on our schools to provide the end of the year closure activities but when our schools are unable to do that, we are left feeling a little lost and lingering feelings might arise. To help us transition into summer break, try these 5 activities.

1) Have a celebration

2) Create a certificate and give it out to each family member sharing what great job they did this school year

3) Re-organize 

4) Write a letter to your teacher

5) Acknowledge what you have accomplished this school year and set goals for the summer

Enjoy your summer!!

2) What are some great memories or highlights that you have made while socially distancing from others?

3) What is something different in your life now, due to the Coronavirus and social distancing, that you hope stays the same forever?

4) What have you missed the most since the Coronavirus has required you to social distance?

5) How can we get rid of the coronavirus? 

The answers are insightful and funny.  Enjoy!  

In this episode, Tina shares some knowledge about a particular Tarot card, The Hermit. From describing the card in the traditional visual sense to inviting listeners to be with what is right in front of them. As we continue to see the world around us shift and change we may find ourselves feeling like we are in a dark cave. The Hermit invites us to surrender into our experiences even as our brain is freaking out.  

Chloé (8) talks with her brother, Luca (5), about the Coronavirus. You will hear a little fear, sadness, but also an appropriate amount of childhood understanding. It is important to talk to our children about what is going on. Asking them these questions might surprise you. It is a good gauge of how us adults are coping with these changing times. Children are just more open about it.

Tina and Chloé go through a great resource called "My 2020 COVID-19 Time Capsule" created by Long Creations. It is full of thoughtful questions and activities to be collected and capsuled about our experiences during this pandemic. Warning- there are a few weird pauses at the end.
