Hi, I'm Penny Scott-Handries, voice actor for the Nose Leap Podcast.

Right now, things are still pretty tough around the world.

While it might seem like it's easing up with lockdown protocols changing and people starting

to emerge from their homes, it's important to remember that social distancing and protection,

like masks and hand sanitizer, are still highly important.

It's more pressing than ever that we don't get complacent right now and trick ourselves

into believing the worst is over.

We've got to look after ourselves.

And yeah, I know, it feels like this has been going on forever.

Who knew that looking after yourself and your loved ones could be so draining?

And there's no shame in feeling exhausted or worn down by this stuff.

It's hard on everyone and you have every right to be affected by it.

And every right to want to talk about it.

That's where services, like Better Help, come in.

If you need someone to talk to or just to listen, there a great option.
