Self-Care & Love

Tue, 30 Nov 2021 00:00:00 -0500

In the heartfelt conclusion of Homebound Season 2, we get in touch with self-care and love. How do we show up for ourselves and others? What does quality self-care look, and not look like? What are the impactful ways that we have shown, or been shown love in our lives?

Listen up and listen in as our intergenerational community authentically share their experiences with love in its many permutations and their discoveries on the journey to self-care. And it is truly a journey, a constant journey, one that is beautifully explored by the intergenerational voices in this episode. We hope you'll find something useful for yourself along the way.

Barriers

In our penultimate episode of Homebound Season 2, we tackle the topic of barriers. Barriers placed on us, and those we place on ourselves. In times of isolation, barriers become heightened, as does our attention to how we are able and unable to navigate them.

Listen as our intergenerational community authentically share the mountains they've encountered in their storied and fresh histories; and what they've done when faced with those barriers. What barriers has life thrown your way? What have you learned from taking another route? How have you changed due to the barriers you've encountered?
