Keeping You Sane.

 

As we enter into month 10 of the COVID pandemic it’s become alarmingly clear that women are struggling and recent studies show a dramatic rise in sleep disorders, depression and anxiety in women. It’s our goal to partner with companies that offer services to help build our community up and set ourselves up for success at the end of this long nightmare.

We want to introduce you to Alma, a company that connects you to licensed therapists for all types of mental health needs. Alma is generously offering our members a special promotion on their services. We are also joining forces to do a study about where you are, how you are currently feeling, and what we can do to help.

Step 1: Fill out this survey. 

Step 2: If you are in the NY metro area they will connect you with a therapist who is right for you.

Step 3: Alma expert therapist, Laura Athey-Lloyd, is leading a webinar for all Second Shift members on Wednesday, February 24th at 1:00pm EST on staying sane during these trying times. Register here. 

Step 4: Laura will be answering questions that you send in through social media over the next few weeks. Follow us and ask away!

How to Conquer Working and Parenting During Covid

 

,

 

In case you missed it– Second Shift member, client, and founder of Mama Work it, Marisa Lonic, led an inspiring webinar last week about how to shift perspective, carve out personal time and be most productive with you work and family during Covid. As many places move toward a second phase of “lockdown” Marisa offered lots of practical tips about how to survive this winter with sanity and actually set yourself up for success.

Here are some takeaways:

  • Flip the script to a positive narrative by shifting from “get to” vs. “have to”
  • Multitask the mindless. Solo task the mindful
  • Schedule around your non-negotiables. Then add in what’s flexible.

Want to learn more: Watch the entire webinar HERE! 

Marisa published a time management book and scheduler aptly titled Time Momagement and you can purchase it here!
