Nobody Told Me!

Nobody is immune to the stress that has come with the COVID-19 pandemic and the restrictions it’s placed on our lives. As far as children are concerned, coronavirus may be less harmful to their bodies than it is to those of older people. But, it may be more difficult for kids to deal with emotionally than it is for other age groups.    On this episode, we’ll take a look at the mental health impact of the pandemic on children and teenagers with our guest, Dr. Mary Alvord, who’s a children’s psychologist in Maryland and co-author of Resilience Builder Program for Children and Adolescents, which focuses on enhancing the ability to adapt well to life and its challenges.

Joining us on this episode is Helena Dea Bala, author of the new book, Craigslist Confessional:  A collection of secrets from anonymous strangers, which The New York Times called 'touching'. She was the true definition of the American dream: an Albanian immigrant who came to the United States as a child, went to George Washignton University, and became a lawyer and lobbyist in Washington, D.C. However, at the end of her work day, she found herself unfulfilled and realized that the most content she felt was in her daily conversations with a homeless man (a stranger) who she felt she could be completely honest with. This sparked her to take a leap of faith, quit her job, and post a sentence on Craigslist: 'tell me about yourself.' Over the course of the years, she has met up with strangers on Craigslist and documented their stories, coming to the conclusion that behind the scenes, we are all struggling with the same issues.   You can buy the book at https://www.amazon.com/Craigslist-Confessional-Collection-Secrets-Strangers/dp/1982114967.   Thanks to our sponsors of this episode! --> Athletic Greens: Athletic Green's AG One is a special blend of ingredients that supports your gut health, nervous system, immune system, energy recovery, focus and aging.
