9. Lockdown Chronicles (Part 2)

As you know Lockdown Chronicles is a little different from our other titles. These minisodes are a little more light-hearted, and simply falling into conversation. In this episode, I'm joined by Sophia who previously featured in episode 6, 'Social media in schools'. Sophia is an Engagement and outreach coordinator. Outside of this, she mentors, tutors, and works alongside at-risk students and their families. We've known each other since the age of 11. We talk about our lessons and learnings during the lockdown period. There are many health benefits around practicing gratitude, one being that practicing gratitude can increase one’s happiness. I pull out some gratitude cards to really get us thinking about things we are thankful for as-well-as recognising traits we like about ourselves. Sophia also springs an association game on me that doesn't quite go to plan. Disclaimer: As we are still trying to keep safe during this pandemic, the majority of recordings are still taking place at home. Please bear with us in relation to the fluctuation of sound quality.
