I think it would be extraordinary for the planet, right, if we could be in ourselves instead of being in the production and consumption game.

Nobody really wants a new car. People want to be loved and respected.

Today I'm talking with author and coach Jennifer Garvey-Burger. Jennifer has written simple habits for complex times, changing on the job, and unlocking leadership mind traps.

Jennifer was a previous guest on episode number 43 and we had a natural report.

Unlike that episode, this episode is more personal and more conversational. We talk about lockdown and its effect on our mental health, including how we're feeling.

The struggle for control and routine are missing sense of normalcy, coping in an uncertain time, and so much more.

It's time to listen and learn.
