On this episode, Carissa of @broccyourbody and I discuss the quarantine's effect on our work from home routines, productivity, and self-worth. Carissa tells us how she transitioned from a corporate job in real estate to running her blog and Instagram full time. We talk about our relationships with money while working in the wellness space, and our experiences with anxiety and medication. Carissa also talks about ending her engagement and moving to Los Angeles.
