The Distraction Zone: How We’re Staying Entertained While Distancing


Listen Later

First of all, it’s our 2 year podcasting anniversary! In today’s ep we’re sharing all our best quarantine distractions and recommendations. Between all the family FaceTimes, Zoom happy hours, Powerpoint parties, cooking, organizing, and checking in with family and friends it’s easy to forget to keep a routine and take care of yourself too! We want to help by giving some light hearted and fun ways to lose yourself (in a book, tv show, movie, podcast, etc), even if it’s only for a little while. 

 

We hope you all stay safe and healthy… come join us in the Facebook group to talk about YOUR favorite distractions and what’s keeping you sane(ish).
