Podcast #24: Post Pandemic Mental Wellness

In this week’s podcast I discuss the psychological impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its lingering effects on mental health and social interactions. I talk about the anxieties surrounding close contact, mask-wearing, and sanitization, questioning whether a return to "normal" is possible or even desirable. I also talk about advice for building resilience using strategies from Psychology Today, emphasizing embracing change, positive thinking, and self-care.

And I leave listeners with considering their preparedness for navigating a post-pandemic world.Interested in more? check out my Substack at caitlinmccoll.substack.comReferences:How Can We Live in a Post Pandemic World?
