Surviving Pandemics and Nurturing the Self

In this week's unusual episode, we discuss what happened in the last ep (the one that never made it to fruition) and how our personal lives have been really about that shadow work lately. Self-care is a beast, y'all. The end of the episode provides some clarity on ways to move through anxiety and procrastination, too. We hope you enjoy! This version was originally recorded to be a Patreon-exclusive, but it ended up feeling like a whole episode. Thank you so much for sticking with us through this week of unreliable tech.
