Chasing Wellness with Ali Mac Unknown

Let’s talk about self care cookies! I’m not sure 2020 has been anyone’s favorite year so if you’re in need of a little cookie binge let my friend, Amber help you out! She’s the owner of Self Care Cookies where it’s okay (and recommended) to eat your feelings! Each month Amber comes up with a new cookie flavor, and sends them out in popcorn to customers who might need a little sweet and salty snack to get through! Hear how it all started, how you can get the cookies and our non-stop laughter on this episode!

It’s been years since I received my first piece of 'hate mail' from a listener and it still hurts! I remember every negative thing anyone has ever said about me on social media that they probably thought I would never see. Tomorrow, someone is going to lose. People will be grieving. Please extend grace and let’s finish 2020 together.

What I've been most curious about through 2020 is just how people are doing in general. What did you learn about yourself during quarantine? What got you through? On this episode, I interviewed two of my favorite people in the world with polar opposite situations. First, I talked to one of my best friends, Alicia who quarantined solo like myself and we definitely leaned on each other for support. Then I talked to my sister who has 4 kids and is a teacher on how she got through virtual learning as a teacher AND parent simultaneously.
