This week, a deep and heartfelt discussion with healthy lifestyle guru Howard Jacobson (of WellStartHealth and Plantyourself.com), who  finds himself on lockdown in South Africa during the COVID-19 crisis. Having traveled there with his family before the crisis started, he is currently unable to return home, and continues to help people online from their rented dwelling near Ladysmith, in the Zulu district of KwaZulu-Natal.

Here, we talk about:

• 
  
• the physical and psychological shape of the COVID crisis
  
• how our shared sense of loss compares to collective grief
  
• practical strategies for remaining calm, centered, and healthy every day
  
• finding meaning and purpose in the midst of loss and uncertainty
  

With gratitude to Howie and his family.
