The One Where Danielle Gets COVID

So, this is the one where D gets COVID… and she’s laughing now because she’s already cried. Not going to lie, this is a heavy one, guys. Danielle opens up about her feelings of shame, anger, and disappointment around not only getting COVID, but how people continue to act in light of this pandemic. Your hosts discuss the fear around testing positive and having to think of everyone you came in contact with, and talk about all the ways the pandemic has affected people differently, including healthcare workers. Danielle also gets vulnerable about feelings of lost time when it comes to settling down and having a family, as someone who gave up so much these past two years. Lastly, they touch on the likelihood of the next pandemic being the PTSD, depression, and anxiety of healthcare workers.
