Anliarici: I think we've all had to appreciate the sanctity of life, i think, in a different way. Amd: The pandemic has made everything sort of feel just closer to the surface in terms of emotions. Yasry: For me, it's to make sure and re evaluate that i have not paused too much. Ti: While i am going to say im going to commit t iwal, soas going to keep a perspective in mind if ye.
Just like 2020, this past year didn’t turn out like we expected. And, yet, we got through it. In this episode, we reconnect with three women who were on our show during the height of the pandemic to find out what they’ve been up to and how they’re making sense of the big shifts in society, our workplaces, and our lives. The questions they’re asking themselves are important ones: Is the path I’m on the right one? What does a “healthy and happy me at work” look like?
We discuss the value of self-reflection, why we’ve generally been putting it off, and the introspection that the death of a family member brings about. The Amys reflect on two recent losses, how they managed grief and work, and the lessons they took away from those experiences.
