In this episode, Walker and I share how we are managing work, parenting and life in general during COVID-19. We share the strategies we are using to help manage anxiety and cultivate positivity like eating banana bread (kidding, sort of). It’s something that we are taking actionable steps towards every day. Through difficult times it’s important to remind ourselves that we are resilient and I’ve got a pile of mantras and affirmations I’ve been using!
That being said, some days I feel like we are slaying it and there are moments I feel like crying — but through it all, we are staying connected virtually to family and friends by “physical distancing” to keep our community close as that is essential to wellness.

Hi there,
Just want to confirm if the following company is your subsidiary.

If not, do you own copyright in Canada if this company asks us to help them to sell their product in Canda.
Thanks and best regards,

I remember spending so much money buying drugs from hospitals hoping that i will be cured from HERPES INFECTION, but all to no avail. I contacted so many doctors and they prescribed medicine for me which they indeed tried their best but was unable to provide for me a possible cure, luckily i got to know about a doctor who cured herpes with herbal medicine and i give it try and today am happy that i made that decision and its has now downed on me now that herbal medicine is the only solution to herpes and any other STDs/STIs and other health threatening related diseases/infections you can get your cure today from Dr Akhere Herbal Home call/whatsapp 2347085994115 or visit his website to know more about his products and get your cure (http://drakhereherbalhome.wixsite.com/website) online. just as i did .good luck to you all.
