Working From Home in Massachusetts, and "Bake It Till You Make It" Cooks Up Conversations

With the height of the pandemic behind us, how many people in Massachusetts are still choosing to stick to their home office as opposed to battling the usual commute? David Turcotte, an economics professor at UMass Lowell, joins Nichole to talk about the trends we are seeing when it comes to remote working, how working from home is changing neighborhoods, and what it means for local businesses that may still be struggling to recover. Food is a great way to connect with friends and family, but it's also a really good way to open up conversations about complicated subjects, like mental health. Dayna Altman, the founder of Bake It Till You Make It, talks with Nichole about her new traveling exhibit, "Watch Me Rise", and how she helps people utilize tasty baked goods to create a vulnerable, open space for these critical talks.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
