Description
Scarcity and abundance. When the chips are down, could it be an opportune time to focus on what you do have, create win-win situations, and incorporate gratitude into your daily life? But how do we do this when we feel overwhelmed or even hopeless? In this episode Michelle Fishburne shows us how using a simple whiteboard helped her on the journey to training her mind to recognize possibilities instead of wallowing in doubt and self-pity.Michelle Fishburne was a normal person, with a house and a job, before COVID hit, but life would throw her a curve ball when she lost her job in the spring of 2020, so Michelle moved into her 2006 motorhome and did the unthinkable. She motor-homed 12,000 miles all over the United States and sat down with hundreds of people face-to-face. People shared what their lives were like, what made them struggle, and what surprised them. The personal histories show a diversity of American lives, resilience, and sorrow. That is how "Who We Are Now: Stories of What Americans Lost and Found During the COVID-19 Pandemic" came to be.Everyone's story is different. Some, like Fishburne, lost their jobs. Others lost family, friends, and even their own health and well-being. And yet among the difficulties, many found something that had eluded them before the pandemic. These testimonies offer a glimpse into what people across America lost and found during the pandemic's critical first year. Fishburne lets us hear people's stories as if we were there, in real time, at the beginning of COVID-19, when employment was uncertain, schools were online, and American life more unpredictable than ever before. Michelle Fishburne is a full-time digital nomad, working and living out of her 2006 motor home, Airbnb’s, and housesitting gigs.
