Another week in isolation...

This crisis is really putting a magnifying glass on my (alarmingly natural) gift for hibernation, as well as my capacity for eating chocolate.

How about you?

It\\u2019s also exposing a lot of cracks in relationships \\u2013 both those under the same roof and the long-distance ones \\u2013 as they strain under the weight of this \\u201cnew normal.\\u201d

Just this morning, I had the pleasure of working with a woman who is in my live coaching group, and she confided that she was having an issue with her boyfriend.

Like many, she found herself in a long-distance relationship all of a sudden, as she and her guy self-isolate about 30 minutes from each other in their separate homes.

I said to her, \\u201cThat must be tough. Are you speaking every day?\\u201d

Her answer revealed more than I anticipated... It quickly became clear to me that her needs were being ignored, and that she was ignoring a conversation she needed to have. Something I\\u2019m worried too many people are doing right now.

If you\\u2019re in a similar situation, where you\\u2019re feeling scared to ask for what you need, then you need to hear this episode.

Thinking of you.
