Covid-19 has stolen our ability to travel, so we're stuck in Bariloche, Argentina, and it's not ideal! This episode gets real and shares the latest restrictions in Bariloche (we're only allowed to go outside 3 days a week!) as well as the challenges, struggles and emotions we're dealing with confined to our 2-room apartment. It hasn't been easy since we both approach the situation differently. There have been conflicts followed by understanding with our emotions, levels of intimacy and our individual approaches on what helps us deal with the stress. Meditation, laughing and music help (see recommendations below), but communication is critical. We both bare our souls and come clean with how we're dealing with the situation. It isn't perfect, but it's working for us ... so far! Karen's advice: Don't get carried away by what you SHOULD be doing during this time of isolation, it's too much pressure. Nurturing yourself is more important than ever!
