This week has been a very busy week with me already, as I am closing out the semester with the courses I have been teaching this past semester. As I have been digging into final course grades, I had a moment to take a quick glimpse at a real valuable resource that I want to share with you.
When someone else is doing such a great job of tackling a topic, there is no need to recycle the same information! I am going to share this link with you to an awesome podcast (free) for you by Dr. Sanjay Gupta from CNN. This podcast is amazing, as he touches on the challenges we face, and will face, as we begin to figuratively open our front door and step outside again, after months of being isolated during the pandemic.
The isolation many of us have experienced this past year has been incredibly difficult, to say the least. Now that many are getting vaccinated against the COVID-19 virus, and we can begin to socialize in new ways, you may be surprised that this socialization is likely to be more anxiety provoking than anticipated! Our bodies and brains have acclimated to the needs this past year, even if it has been lonely and uncomfortable. So, it won't be as easy as you may think to return to your social interactions, certainly not to the same degree you may have enjoyed pre-pandemic.
So, enjoy some of the offerings that Dr. Sanjay Gupta has to offer. He will share his personal experiences with his family as well as his professional understanding of this transition we will all be making.
Enjoy!
Here is an introductory article about his podcast, and a link to access it for yourself:

Be well, stay safe, and take care!
