Let's Talk About That Pesky Pandemic Wall

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hey Heifers! First of all, I edited this episode in ONE HOUR. Fern kept DEMANDING attention today (Tuesday), like, more than usual, so I almost didn’t have this episode ready for y’all. But I pulled all my mighty editor muscles together and voila!

I think it’s helpful to remind ourselves that we’re not going through this alone and that yeah, feeling exhaustion, fatigue, brain fog, and other fun is something that is happening to a LOT of people right now, including me. I know my scrappy lil’ Heifers will pull through, and I hope you find some peace this week. <3</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><strong>TIME STAMPS</strong></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">00:00 “Let’s gooo back….back to the beginnninggggg: - Hilary Duff, goddess</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> 1:32 Life Sabbatical Update: Week 2</span></p> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Sleep schedule - somewhat fixed</span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Working on some projects!
