COVID-19: Where We Are Now On the Outside

In this episode, I talk about COVID-19 and the state of the US, some of the details of the most recent stimulus package, the most vulnerable, the essential workers, some of the strikes that are taking place, and my hopes post-pandemic. 

Leave a voicemail if you want to talk about how you're doing during this time! I would love to hear from you!
