Ep 25 Voices of Quarantine

May 29

Our world is upside down.

Yesterday I realized that it has been almost 3 months since my daughter set foot in a grocery store. If someone had dropped that idea into my mind in January I would have said you were nuts. Strange how fast life can change.

Globally we are experiencing this pandemic together. Each of us having to face it exactly at the same time and completely separately all at once. We are facing the same worries and fears and ideas around what this can mean for each of us yet our individual stories are wildly unique. Some people are still working everyday while others haven’t worked in months now. Some people have a big family or roommates that they are now staying at home with and some are very alone.

In this podcast we hear the voices of 17 people (plus my own) telling their stories of the pandemic world they live in.

What are they doing? What are they thinking or feeling? What are they binge watching, eating, working on, what thing have they found that they do that has surprised them? Do you hear yourself in these voices?

I believe that we are stronger and kinder… together. As humans we were meant to be connected. One way right now to feel our collective strength is to listen to one another. May these stories deepen your compassion for others. Maybe they will also make you laugh. A little levity can also go a long way. (:
