So I know that for many of us, friend, these past 18 months or so have been hard. Thanks to a little pandemic that’s affected the entire world.

And we’ve still had to carry on with everyday activities, like paying the bills, taking care of our families, working, and, hopefully, fitting in time to write. 

So how do you make time for a brand strategy? 

 Well, sometimes you just can’t make time. 

Instead, what you need is a break. 

This week’s episode isn’t directly about brand strategy, but it is about resting and taking care of yourself. Which is going to allow you to create and implement a brand strategy more effectively than if you’re burnt out and feeling harried.

I’m interviewing my good friend, Ramon Chaparro, a licensed counselor based in Denver, CO. He’ll walk us through what he has generally observed as a mental health worker and provide some resources on how to care for yourself in the hardest times. 

Keep listening to hear what he has to share.
