Stress Management: Dealing with Pandemic Issues During the Holiday Season

Description

October is traditionally the beginning of the holiday season for many people. With harvest celebrations, pumpkins, ghosties, apple picking, and getting our warmer clothes. Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, holidays, special events, and celebrations have changed dramatically. How will our family, and work celebrations be different this year? Cherished family traditions and community events may have been canceled due to the virus, and current gathering restrictions. Many families are facing increased financial burdens from furloughed employment to lost wages from employer shut-down.

This session will take the time to explore these stressful times and share ideas and creative strategies to make this time more enjoyable. This workshop will have multiple small group activities – so please have your camera on your device (phones are fine too). Get ready for some fun and interactive opportunities and the chance to share with your peers.

Jessica Badowski is the owner of Too Busy Gals, a social media consulting company, established in 2008. One of her primary reasons for co-founding Too Busy Gals with her sibling Alexis Chapman was to address their combined health needs and work schedule accommodations. Traditional work settings were no longer suitable. Growing from a team of 2 to a team of 10 across 2 states has been an endeavor. The company’s mission to provide top-quality service to its clients is coupled with the compassion to hire and employee team members who due to a variety of health concerns cannot work in a traditional employment setting.

Too Busy Gals has provided content development and platform management for a variety of clients including: NYT Best-selling Authors, Emmy-Award Winning news-personalities, top real estate and insurance firms. Since moving the company from Columbus, Ohio to Tucson, Arizona clients have included: toy/novelty manufacturing plant, internationally renowned artist, medical providers, law firms, and produce farm and distributors. Too Busy gals has grown beyond the United States to work with companies as far away as Morocco and as close as Nogales, MX.
