Just this morning a TSLL reader and listener of the podcast, who works in the healthcare system, asked that I pulled together a list of podcast episodes from the archives to help us all navigate through this time of self-containment and uncertainty, as well as more time at home with available time to be outside when we go for our daily exercise or work in the yard. I said yes, absolutely, and immediately set about trying to compile the best episodes to listen to to uplift, inspire, offer calm as well as focus our thoughts in the right direction in order to see opportunity in this temporary moment we all find ourselves.

As many listeners of the The Simple Sophisticate podcast know, there are a handful of different ways to listen to the show depending upon what works best for where you might find yourself or how you best enjoy taking in audio content. Just in case you are new to the show, I have linked the various locations you can listen and/or download all of the six seasons.

• Apple Podcasts
• YouTube (my channel – Shannon Ables)
• Stitcher

Below you will find 27 episodes, all of which have been shared over the past six years, organized into the following categories: Remaining Calm During Uncertainty (6); Strengthening the Mind (6); Maintaining and Building Good Health (5); How to Elevate the Everyday at Home (10).

I do hope you enjoy the show and find the episodes helpful, calming and reassuring that all will be well soon. And as I spoke to a dear friend yesterday, she reminded that the key for us to breathe even more deeply on the other side of it, is to handle it all in a way we will feel good about upon reflection. Thank you for being the kind, compassion and thoughtful community that you are. No doubt you and your loved ones are providing what the world needs now and moving forward as best as you can. All my best. Bonne journée.
