    "Over For Whom?"

    "Over For Whom?"

    Kelly and Shannon are back with a quick update on the dumpster fire that is Ontario. Updates all around including virtual learning, work, and Kelly's mom. Hard to believe that in our third calendar year of this pandemic we are still confused and plagued by impossible decisions. But little things like recycling and Christmas trees are still top of mind.
    So much gratitude to those who have continued to ask us about where we are.

    … and with that! Season One finale!!

    Huge gratitude to the Season One listeners, thank you for joining us on this ride. Kelly and Shannon are going to spend the rest of summer 2021 reflecting and planning for Season Two! In this episode our hosts have two very different experiences driving the wild streets of Toronto. 
    There are some quick sweets and sours (of course!) and a small (large) reminder of our thoughts on vaccination #getit
    We love you, we thank you. Stay safe!

    “You start dying slowly if…”

    “You start dying slowly if…”

    A rousing morning discussion on collagen, nails and gut health from two non-experts. Always so much to learn!
    Shannon’s family takes a trip to Niagara Falls where they all learn they do NOT like haunted houses. We (like you) have a good laugh at the expense of good ole Mr. Amazon. 
    Kelly did a camp drop off complete with a friendly Covid “SWAT” team. Life is slowly returning to normal. A poem from Pablo Neruda to round out the feelings of re-entry to society. It’s normal to bounce between the highs and lows.

    The more things change...

    The more things change...

    Exciting things are happening: the kids are at camp and Kelly went to a play! #happyplace 
    Shannon’s sour involves money - surprise !! 
    Moral of the story, check your bank accounts once in awhile *eyeroll*.
    Why do we want to cancel our therapy and self care when we are already at our lowest point?? And, a listener shares a sweet!! Hooray

    The stress that holds us together.

    The stress that holds us together.

    Kelly is struggling with her mom's health. She shares how she is navigating the rocky road of health care for our aging parents. Just remember you are never alone people, you do not have to do anything alone that you do not need to when you have friends.

Awesome

Really like the episodes and personalities

I really appreciate the talking about personal management of the energies. And how the therapist was so helpful and you shared it well
AND
These guys are great company. And what more do we need in these times of isolation. Laughter is our best medicine. Listening to their laughter AND THEIR CHALLENGES is restorative. Thank you!

This podcast is saving me. It’s one of the best ways to deal with the anxiety and malaise of this GD GP: listening in on two smart and hilarious friends hashing it out. Better Already is vulnerable, hilarious, and comforting as hell.
