Summary

We're getting in our feelings today, fam. Awareness coach and Gestalt therapist Adela Raffa joins us to discuss all the things we're going through right now -- loneliness, anxiety, helplessness, lethargy, even "surprisingly ok" -- and how to cope. We cover communication with a partner (both in quarantine and long-distance) as well as friends and family, anger management, handling grief, and more. We're also sharing the hilarious ways our listeners are "self-caring" and serving up some fire book recommendations and outdated movie reviews. We hope you enjoy!

Follow Adela on Instagram @AdelaRaffa and visit her website for more information.

Follow us @GirlsGottaEatPodcast, Rayna @Rayna.Greenberg, and Ashley @AshHess. Check our website for merchandise and tour dates.

4:23.4

You know, there's no responsibilities, there's no work, you're taking a round, I think for me at least this was the hardest week for me personally in terms of all this and what I'm really starting to feel like I'm losing it a little bit more mentally and I'm really needing to find ways to like stay more centered, stay more grounded.
