\nI can\u2019t imagine business as usual right now at a podcast about how our lives can change on a dime.
\nSo I reached out to our community, and I want to share some stories about how folks are coping with COVID. I think we can all relate to these reflections, find some comfort and solidarity, and just be in this thing together.
\nThis episode is dedicated to the way the COVID-19 pandemic is changing our lives. I will continue to share your stories over the next however many episodes I can, so keep recording your voice memos with some thoughts about how you\u2019re doing out there.\xa0

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tI read written reflections at the top of the show from: Rian, jobless in Seattle; Sam on kid\u2019s sacrifices in Jersey; Molly in Berkeley on kids\u2019 disappointment and the uncertain prospect of nursing through the pandemic; Rachel in Modesto on fascism in the time of plague; Kate on managing risk factors and working with children in Boston; Jenn on a busted knee in Oakland; and Lyn on trauma response and cherishing time with her kid in Berkeley.\xa0We also hear direct voice messages from:Juniper, a doctor in Portland; Daria, reflecting on forced introspection in Providence; Gordon, an essential grocery worker in San Francisco; Amanda, living in exile in her own home in Graton; Linda, on family and grocery store battles in Campbell, and Samaki on needing a certificate to walk the dog in Schiltigheim, France.
