Episode 198 - Not Being a Misery Guts

Season 5, Ep. 198

How can we deal with this better, and how do we help others to recognise our own emotional labour?OUR NEW PODCAST!https://canyouseemyscreenpodcast.com Streamed Live on https://twitch.tv/michaelforrest, Friday 1st April 2022---- Stuff we made ----Squares TV https://squares.tv?ct=podIvanka’s Blog https://ivanka.blog---- This Week's Links ----[1] Michael’s unrepairable MacBook Pro - https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/MacBook+Pro+15-Inch+Touch+Bar+2018+Teardown/111478 [2] How Emotional Labor Affects Women's Careers - https://www.forbes.com/sites/melodywilding/2018/06/06/dont-be-the-office-mom-how-emotional-labor-affects-womens-careers/ [3] It’s OK to - https://twitter.com/gdsteam/status/877806951693864960?lang=en-GB [4] Our interview with Rabbi David Paskin - https://canyouseemyscreenpodcast.com/episodes/7-raising-our-remote-presentation-game-with-david-paskin[5] We Are Two - Left brain/right brain discussion - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfYbgdo8e-8---- Credits ----Talking is by Ivanka Majic and Michael ForrestMusic available on Apple Music | Spotify | BandcampPatreon: https://patreon.com/grandpodcasthttps://twitter.com/ivankahttps://twitter.com/michaelforresthttps://twitter.com/PodcastGrand
