On this episode Helen Nicholson takes the hot seat to share her experience with COVID after being in isolation. We discuss how the brutal disease brought discomfort into her home but also made her realize the importance of surrendering to the process. We unpack how she realized that she was affected and needed to act quick to minimize the damage. We also unpack and highlight some of the dark psychological effects caused by lack of interaction with people and being outside.  Helen also shares a letter written by her husband to his Buddhist teacher and another one written by Pope St Francis to remind us to enjoy the simple things in our lives and homes to help us get through the pandemic.  Did you enjoy the podcast?
