Weddings, Viruses and Productivity Guilt

episode
Description

Weddings are right around the corner and I don’t have a dress. In this episode, I talk about staying blissfully supportive — but not overly involved — in the planning of both of my kids’ weddings (shocker). I also shares my thoughts on the peculiar way we have assigned a moral judgment to people when they test positive for Covid and the nosy nature of worrying about everyone’s vaccine status. 

Lastly, I discuss the guilt we feel when we can’t be productive and the toll it can have on our mental health.

 

You’ll find out:

  • Why this whole week feels weird
  • Why I haven’t bought dresses for my kids’ weddings (yet)
  • Why I haven’t interjected myself into my kids’ weddings
  • Why I think both of my kids are set up for success in their future marriages
  • The importance of therapy as preventative care in your relationship
  • Why getting sick has become so political and a moral issue
  • The worst part of being under the weather
  • How low energy begets low energy
  • What balances my mood more than anything else
  • My thoughts on empathy
  • The power of sleep
  • Why I prefer shopping alone
  • Tip for my short girls
  • General clothing tip for all the ladies
  • What you get on my Patreon
