In this episode Anne shares from the heart her own experience on what it has been like living in "ground zero" of the US outbreak of novel coronavirus in Seattle, and how she and her husband are navigating their own family, small businesses and community through this uncharted territory. The freeways and streets are eerily empty, the grocery store shelves are bare, families are at home together with no planned activities, and everyone is anxious. While there is still so much uncertainty and everything is changing daily, learn how these changes are creating a massive forced culture SHIFT for all of us, and how Anne is shifting her upcoming episodes to support listeners to learn:

• How we can all play an active leadership role in our families and communities to lead with calm and compassionate action to help others
• Best practices, tools and tips for online learning from experts for remote learning
• Mental health strategies to support our kids
• Consciously limiting our own access to 24/7 news cycles and social media for our own mental health
• Creative ideas from sports clubs, communities and parents to keep kids engaged and create a sense of "normalcy" during this time
• How we can support our local community small businesses who are greatly impacted
• What she's learned from 15 - (actually just counted and it is 17 years!) working from home and how to juggle everything from time management, sharing an office with your spouse, to conference calls and kids
• Her theory behind the TP hoarding

We will get through this and get out and explore the world again together. When the time is right, we will return to talk about travel, the impact on the industry, and have conversations with trusted experts to share why now more than ever it is critical to have a trusted travel advisor to stay on top of ever-changing travel logistics.

We are in this together. Please share with me what you are learning or topics you would like to learn more about by sending me an email at anne [at] hiptravelmama.com or DM me at @cultureshiftpodcast or @hiptravelmama

Be well, friends. - Anne
