Ep. 33: Giving Birth, Nutrition, and Coping in Quarantine

Alex and Shane reflect on Week 3 of quarantine, and how it was both the best and the worst. They address anti-teachers rants on social media, and explain the distinction between “working from home” and “working through a crisis.” Shane devises a scheme for Alex to get 10,000 followers, using “basic” pregnancy blog tactics. Psychotherapist Jessica Warnock joins to talk about coping with anxiety and stress during an international crisis; she gives advice on coping strategies, and the importance of finding meaning in all of this. Whitney English of @plantbasedjuniors discusses what vitamins and nutrients we might be lacking as our grocery shopping and eating habits change in quarantine, and the best ways to get them in our diet. New mothers Kristen and Heidi tell us their insightful and cautionary birth story: Kristen gave birth during the coronavirus outbreak in Georgia, USA, and were separated from their newborn daughter for a week. Stay safe, and enjoy!
