Description

We recorded this episode mere days after the horrific shooting of Jacob Blake and unexpected death of Chadwick Boseman. This year, collectively, we’ve dealt with one tragedy right after another. We’re processing our pain and anger each day and working to find healthy ways to cope. We hope you’re able to do the same and hope you have folks in your corner that can support you.
As the title suggests, this episode is about self-care in the age of social media and social unrest. After discussing this topic amongst ourselves, we came up with the following six strategies to help you stay sane in the midst of chaos:

Recognize your worth and value.

Know your limits.

Be intentional about who you follow. Be conscious about what you consume.

Allow yourself to experience joy- especially during times of grief and despair.

Educate yourself about the issues, but not to the point of exhaustion.

Have healthy coping mechanisms.
