#08b Protecting the Sanctuary of Your Work and Personal Space

March 22, 2020

In this BONUS EPISODE, we discuss how to protect the sanctuary and individuality of your personal and working space when we’re suddenly thrown together during the COVID-19 epidemic.


There are a wide range of reactions to the suggestions, mandates, and information being hurled at us at a rapid pace. As Introverts, we really need MORE time and space than what we've been given to understand how this affects us, our families, our neighbors, our jobs, our economy, our children's education, and more.


Given this, it will be vitally important for Introverts to use their powers of self-awareness and dig deep for those resources and talents that make them uniquely qualified in this situation. You know where your awesomness lies and where you will need to rely on your loved ones as we come together in tight spaces to keep life moving. You might be the list-maker, and your spouse the visionary, or maybe you are the executor and your spouse is the meditator - there hasn't been a better opportunity for letting your talents surface.


My guest, Holly Cain has come up with a solution to help roommates, spouses, parents and children come together and make the most of this crazy situation.
