Happy April Everyone! Thank you for stopping by the show this week. The world is so crazy right now! I admit in the beginning of all this madness with COVID 19, I was not worried. It seemed at the time the virus was contained to certain areas of the world. Slowly but surely, the numbers keep creeping up. I wish this wasn't happening. I wish we could contain it better. I'm concerned BUT still optimistic. This is hitting everyone-HARD. Everyone. My hope is that we are able to come together and flatten the line of individuals getting sick. I hope the economy doesn't suffer too badly. On a lighter note, I am trying out some new music for the podcast. I will be debuting a few beats made my Kenji Wells. Kenji is a devoted track coach and music maker. He is also undefeated in any beat battle competition he has ever entered. Check out his featured music in the next few weeks. We will pick the winning tune together. Check him out-Kenji Wells on Facebook. I am finishing up the discussion we started last week on hormones of the female reproductive tract. April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The topic of sexual assault is so heavy. It's so hard for me to understand how we exist in a sex rich culture but we don't want to talk about the bad that comes along with sex-one of which being sexual assault. I shared a few thoughts about my own experience. It's sad that we live in a society where there is always backlash towards the victim. I wish there had been a different decision made concerning my case but sometimes in life bad things happen. I will not let that moment define me. If anyone has been a victim of sexual assault, The Me Too Movement has an awesome website with tons of amazing resources including a glossary. The website is metoomvmt.org; April is also Stress Awareness Month. I know we are living in a time that it is difficult not to stress. All the uncertainty can definitely be a distraction, but I urge you to commit to things that will keep your stress low. Self-care is a must. I shared some things I like to do for self-care to keep my stress low. Thank you all for stopping by and listening. Let me know what else is going on this month.
