If Coronavirus has taught us anything, it's to plan for the unexpected. This podcast is for the person who maintained most or all of their income during COVID-19 and is okay financially during this time, but might not have been okay if they had lost any income. I'm sharing a few tips for how I prepared for this and how you can prepare for the next unexpected situation. With a little planning, you can ride out any storm.

Ep 55: You Are the Biggest, Baddest Floatie: Coronavirus Edition by Amy Ogden

We talk a lot about redefining success, but what about redefining progress? Who says progress is always "up and forward?" Not me. Not anymore, anyways. Let's dive into that together.

You know how you see a movie for the second time and you're much more calm when the main character gets in a pickle? You know they'll ultimately be okay. That's how I look at life - even when the craziest things happen, I know that in the end, I'll be okay. And you will too.

There's so much we don't know right now. So much. I'm struggling with the unknowns like many of you. I was listening to an audiobook tonight that gave me a wonderful way to gain some perspective in this very unknown time. I'm sharing this with you in today's podcast. Sending so much love.

When you feel like everything you have has been taken away, it's a beautiful time to lean into gratitude. This weekend I started a daily gratitude practice and it's giving me peace and calm during this unknown time. Focusing on what we do have versus what we don't is such a wonderful way to calm our minds and lighten our spirits. As we move into our second month of quarantine, I'm sending you all so much love.

I read this piece and felt called to share it with you. Sending so much love this Passover and Easter.

Today's podcast is a little different. We'll talk about your brain's response to isolation, why looking "really far out" is important and why you might be napping more than usual.

We're all quiet with our thoughts more than ever before. I'm using this time to explore journaling and listening to what my spirit has to say. If you're curious about journaling, I offer my method here (pretty late in the episode, but it's there!) and I also talk about how we're each experiencing our own "pain" during this time and how it's all valid. Loving you from afar. xx

This is a strange time and you shouldn't expect to be "yourself" every day. We're all navigating this together and individually. You are allowed (welcomed!) to have a different day, hour, minute and then choose again. This is no playbook. Let's be graceful and flow through this together.
