Last year we had a "real talk about self care" with Jessica Chung. As we are sheltering in place we invited her back on to revisit the discussion, and chat about how we are managing during this time of sheltering in place.

NOT CORONAVIRUS RELATED! Post planner meetup week didn't go that great for Jamie. She shares her rough week in maybe too much detail and how she's taking care of herself to move past it. This episode is a slow sad start but like all chats with a good friend, it ends with lots of laughs. A few questions Jamie asked herself though the week to check herself: How much did my attitude impact the outcome. Is what's going on in my personal life impacting how this feels. Do I need to step back from this situation and collect myself?
