Episode 38 is a continuation of our last conversation, which we addressed self-care and social distancing. This week we touch on the COVID-19 impact on mental health, parenting, and creating new habits for maintaining wellness.
Self-care has become one of those pop culture terms that’s used so often and loosely, that it can easily lose it’s value.
So...what is self care? Why is it important? How do we apply it while in self-quarantine?
For episode #37, we provide meaning and context to the term and talk about our own ways of maintaining our wellness.
