520: How to Restore Hope, Power & Connection A Year Into A Pandemic

We are coming up on a full 12 months of enduring a pandemic that we initially thought would last 2-6 weeks. How are you? No, really? This time is very much like navigating Newbornland - that phase when you’re totally sleep deprived, but you’ve been sleep deprived for so long that it just feels normal and you don’t know what it feels like to actually be rested. That’s where we’re at.  We’ve been in survival mode for a year. So long that it feels normal and we don’t remember what it feels like to not have to juggle constant worry and uncertainty.  So, in the face of this chronic worry and uncertainty, how are you holding on to hope, power, and connection? We must be able to harness these if we are to stay sane and functional.  In this episode I’ll give you tactical steps to restore hope, power, and connection in your everyday life.  Links mentioned: Get my Shameless Mom Con updates Learn more about your ad choices.
