today I spoke with Jem, a counseling practitioner, about the mental health implications of coronavirus. Many of us, including me, have lost loved ones due to the pandemic, so today she helps walk us through how to cope with grief and the anxiety of the time. We also touch on Jem's own story and how she turned her life around to a positive outlook after trauma. 

Today I had the pleasure of talking with @mayedoodles on instagram, an illustrator who uses her art as a coping skill and connecting with others! We chat about her art, dealing with anxiety, quarantine, and even her tattoo which reflects her queer identity! It was so much fun to make and I hope you enjoy! #arttherapy #copingskills #anxiety #quarantineanxiety #queer
