Remember when the world shut down?

In this episode of Real Over Ideal, host Vanessa Gorelkin delves into the lasting impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic as we mark its six-year anniversary.

Through a blend of personal anecdotes and expert insights, Vanessa examines the emotional and systemic challenges faced by individuals and communities worldwide. She offers a compassionate guide to understanding the profound changes in our personal and professional lives, emphasizing the importance of resilience and growth. 

Listeners are invited to reflect on their own pandemic journeys with thoughtfully crafted prompts and practical strategies for processing grief and embracing a new normal. This episode is a heartfelt exploration of how we can learn from adversity, find strength in vulnerability, and foster a sense of community through shared stories and experiences.
