Rather Be Sweating

5 Lessons the Pandemic Taught Me that are Worth Remembering

Maria McBride Season 1 Episode 5

Being the owner of a small business - a brick and mortar yoga studio - during the Covid-19 Pandemic was one of the most challenging things I have ever experienced. And even though 2020 and 2021 held a lot of stress and uncertainly, the pandemic also brought to light some incredible lessons. Lessons in business, lessons in yoga, lessons that I want to remember. And I figure that they're worth sharing here.

While creating this episode, Ukraine was invaded. And all of a sudden, my small business Covid challenges seemed pretty darn small. Pretty non-existent actually.

So I had an idea:

For I’ll be matching the first 50 $5 donations to Sunflower of Peace, a Boston-based non-profit providing medical and humanitarian aid that will be used by the paramedics and doctors in the areas that are affected by the violence in Ukraine. 

What that means is if you’re one of the first 50 people to donate $5, send me a screenshot of your receipt, and I’ll match it.

My email address is maria@hometownsweat.com.

Not only that, but I’ll also donate $1 for the first hundred downloads of this podcast episode.

That means if you’re right down the street or across the ocean, you can pretty easily make a small difference simply by simply downloading the episode. 

So what do you need to do? Share this episode. Grab the link and text it to your friends. And if you have 5 bucks to spare, donate it, email me a picture of the receipt, and I’ll match it.

I hope you enjoy the episode.
