The pandemic has taken an enormous toll on the mental health of people around the world, with surveys showing increased symptoms of anxiety and depression since it began. Experts say the mental health consequences of the pandemic are likely to linger for years.  Joining us on this episode is Stanford University Professor Dr. Leah Weiss, who is the co-founder of both the Stanford Compassion Cultivation Program and Skylyte, a venture-backed startup designed to address workplace mental health challenges. She’s also the author of the book, "How We Work: Live Your Purpose, Reclaim Your Sanity, and Embrace the Daily Grind".   Thanks to our sponsor, Lomi, the world’s first Smart Waste Appliance.  If you’ve struggled with composting and feel it’s too much work, or feel bad that you’re not doing your part to help the environment, you have to check out Lomi, the countertop electric composter.  Just about anything you'd put into the kitchen disposer can be put into the Lomi on your countertop and turned into dirt in four hours.  Use that dirt in your garden!
