The Assignment with Annah & Shannon

Has Anyone Checked on Ken? There's been a lot of discussion about what's going on with men these days. It has become somewhat of a lightning rod in the cultural zeitgeist.

And for us, it simply means asking ourselves a few honest questions about the topic.

In our final episode of the 3-part series on News Chaos we look back to the biggest news stories of our time, the Covid Pandemic, the 9/11 attacks and the Nova Scotia Mass Shooting and how our experience of them through watching them play out on the news shaped us.

Welcome to the Assignment, episode 2 on exploring our experiences with Sobriety.  We left off our last episode at the moment that we made the decision to stop drinking. This episode we deep dive into early sobriety and the changes that quitting drinking have brought into our lives.

One that for many starts early and can change your life in exhilarating and excruciating ways.   Let's get into it.
