Welcome to Episode 14 where we discuss the burnout of nearly a year living in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic combined with the political and social upheaval that is taking place around the world. We begin with a conversation about the trope of the angry feminist and how it has personally affected us before moving on to a conversation about the multiple levels of stress and pressure weighing down on us all at the moment, including how it affects our physical and mental health. While we don't have a single "silver bullet" cure, we talk about some of the methods we use to address and reduce our stress levels while still remaining as present as possible. We have provided 3 separate sources for mental health support (UK specific, US specific and a globally minded support page with links) and we send you love & light.
