No matter what’s going on in your corner of the world, I want you to know that I’m sending you love.

No matter how this global situation has affected you and your family, I want you to know that I’m thinking of you and our entire community.

Mike and I are committed to showing up in a way that contributes to this being a healing experience for all of us.

So, we recorded a new episode of The Kate & Mike Show for you where we shared:

• How we’re navigating self-isolation (including some missteps and how we’re learning from them)
• Five specific tips for tending to your nervous system during this time so you can signal your body to rest, restore, and heal instead of activate fight, flight, or freeze
• Six steps to take stock of what’s happening and pivot your business in an effective, helpful way
• Why giving away all of your stuff for free may or may not be the best thing to do right now as a business owner
• The way we’re staying informed without freaking out
• One perspective on this unprecedented time that’s bringing us a lot of peace and solace

If you need some healing thoughts during this uncertain time, this episode is for you.

This is weird. We’re here for you. Take really good care of yourself and each other.
