Coronavirus and social distancing have many Utahns on edge as they try to adapt to a new normal. Add an earthquake into the mix, and it makes for an anxiety-inducing week for many in the state.

Joining us on the podcast is Malissa Morrell, a licensed marriage and family therapist in Salt Lake City. She's also a board-certified art therapist and teaches at the College of Social Work at the University of Utah.
