My husband Shawn and I are both lucky enough to be self-employed doing work that we're passionationatea about. He's a photographer who captures life in a way that makes the world look like an interesting and beautiful place. I am a baker and manager of our community event space, The Central Collective. Being able to do what I love and run a space for people to gather is the best job in the world... until there's a global pandemic.

Therefore, it is extremely important for us to regain balance in times of disruption. Not only does balance reduce physical and emotional strain that impacts our immune system and long-term health, but it supports the productivity (and creativity) levels necessary to maintain equilibrium in life and work.
