How We Can Effectively Share Space During Lockdown

Author: Tracey Benson May 12, 2020 Duration: 26:45

Quarantine is starting to take its toll on all of us, particularly those living in close proximity with their spouses and other family members. 


In today’s episode, I cover a few tips and strategies that you can apply to your living situation to help ease the tension that is bubbling to the surface. It’s such an uncertain time right now and for many of us, we’re starting to take our emotions out on the people closest to us.
