Description
Christina Crook on how Covid-19 has helped us leave the FOMO-fuelled Age of You behind.
Welcome to the Age of Us. In this episode, we explore the many ways the COVID-19 crisis can teach us about ourselves- and joy. Just as we’ve had to give up expectations for normalcy when this began, we will have the privilege of deciding what to take with us back into ‘normal life’ and what to leave behind.
What are you discovering matters to you a lot more than you thought it did?
What do you barely miss at all?
How are you holding it together?
Can we finally move past FOMO?
Maybe we already have.
Key takeaways from this conversation:
- How the end of the “decade of FOMO” bookends a crisis that’s making us take a hard look at what we really value
- How we can show up for the responsibility of joy
- How paying attention to what gives and takes joy in this difficult time can help us craft the best way to get through our days
- How to come through this crisis with a better, clearer sense of what JOMO means
