Episode 14
30 Days On Lockdown S3E14
In this shorter episode, I discuss a major milestone we've reached, 30 days on total lockdown. I share how I'm managing a seriously delicate medication situations with my oldest. I talk about how we're doing and the struggles I'm facing as a single Dad.
Please remember that self-care is more important than ever. It's not easy but we have to do our best to look after ourselves, especially during these turbulent and uncertain times.
Please listen and share with anyone that could benefit.
