Pre-Covid Era Nostalgia
Today we reminisce about life before COVID! We talk about how work culture and our social life looked before the pandemic, and dissect how the changes have impacted our daily lives even to this day. We chat about the transition from the end of the pandemic to our current day normal and evaluate if anything has gone to pre-COVID norms. This is a pretty lighthearted episode that focuses purely on our personal experiences and emotions during this time of our lives, but we'd like to acknowledge that COVID was a global pandemic that negatively impacted a lot of individuals and families and we by no means want to downplay that at all. Our heart goes out to those that were deeply affected by the pandemic. Support the show Follow us on social media @eatyourcrustpod
