Welcome to week #2 of the Mental Health During COVID-19 series. For the coming weeks, we're going to be doubling down on caring for ourselves from the inside out: cleaning up our minds together, trying out new tools and concepts, and taking a moment for ourselves in the midst of this pandemic…

The *How to Not Panic* Sessions: 6

Hey there, everyone. I’m kinda liking this daily hang out we have going on. We are on day 6 of this mini-series, and here in KC, it feels like it’s about day 6 of the Coronavirus quarantine, too. So this all feels fully aligned.

I have been doing these episodes every day, literally off the cuff…

The G.I. Joe Fallacy

The G.I. Joe Fallacy

Didn't think we'd be talking about action figures together, did ya?

As a child of the 80's with a younger brother, I not only played my fair share of G.I. Joe, we watched a decent amount of the cartoon, too. And every episode, there was a lesson for the kids along with the show's tagline: "Now you know...and knowing is half the battle."…
