When you see things on TV or read things online or in the papers, how do you take in the information and yet not worry 24/7 about the whole thing? Kirsten Fox interviews Dannielle Bryan, of www.shaminictwist.com, who presents a few ways to help yourself be calmer and more present as we are faced each day with increasing numbers of coronavirus victims. If you remember the saying from elementary school about fire, “Stop, drop and roll,” you’re already on your way to discovering new tools for yourself.

She explains how they were saved and highlights an area of the world that the epidemic never reached: Chile.
