Episode 187: Grounding for Post Pandemic "Jet Lag"

Episode Description

After watching an episode of Down to Earth with Zac Efron on Netflix, I learned that one solution for the jet lag feeling after travel is a practice called “Grounding.” It requires putting your bare feet on the soil of the new space you are inhabiting. In this episode I explore my own version of grounding as I struggle with what I have come to call my post pandemic jet lag. I think I have found my equivalent of barefoot walking through this new world and encourage you to find your own.
