Emotional Brunch

In a Pandemic world, Jess and Elena talk about loneliness, and how it strikes differently when you're at home all the time. In tackling this vulnerable issue, we hope to give you some tips on how we manage it and normalize the experience of feeling lonely, even around other people. We reference this article - "4 Ways to Navigate Loneliness During COVID and Beyond" (https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/blog/packing-success/202007/4-ways-navigate-loneliness-during-covid-and-beyond) At a socially distanced brunch-making, we focused on different ways to eat your brunch - whether just eating some good ol' fashioned cereal, cream cheese toast with avocado and capers, to an egg on a bagel with some salad. Major thanks to our lovely guest, Beren, who inspired us to talk about this very vulnerable issue. We would also like to thank our lovely editor, Alec for editing our zoom podcast.
