Recorded prior to the #BLM moment, this episode talks about planning for Fall 2020 in the new COVID world. It’s almost impossible to plan when everything feels so up in the air, and transitioning through the frantic effort of moving classes and life online, to summer, and then on to Fall prep, has been profoundly destabilzing for almost everyone. As you look ahead, know that above all, you need rest. Karen and Kel talk about how you can’t stop on a dime, though–you might need to plan the resting…. scheduling time to slow down, and let your nervous system unwind. So don’t feel weird about scheduling your rest, and also don’t be surprised if feelings of rage and fury rise up as your frantic hyper-defense mechanisms click off.
