How to Avoid Talking in Circles Around COVID-19

*This episode was recorded on 4/1/2020

It’s easy to find ourselves going down the rabbit hole of rehashing the latest headlines pertaining to the novel coronavirus pandemic. While expressing our thoughts on the matter can be healthy, talking in circles can sometimes do more harm than good.

In today’s episode, Molly and Tricia distinguish between “venting” and “complaining” to ensure we’re having healthy conversations. In addition, we discuss ways to check in with others during this time, alternative topics to the virus, and why it’s important to have “normal” conversations too.
