Turning the page on a new year typically involves making lofty promises for a healthier, more productive year ahead. But in 2020, in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, many of those goals went by the wayside as life as we knew it came to a halt. In this podcast, Krista Moe, PhD, a Lexington psychologist, talks with the “HealthTalks Now” team about approaching 2021 with positivity and resolve despite 2020’s unmet expectations and amidst continued uncertainty. Dr. Moe explains the importance of self-reflection, especially after a year of loss and disappointment, and offers suggestions for recognizing our strengths and using them to help us stare down 2021.

In this episode of the HealthTalks NOW podcast, Kendra and Kerri are joined for a phone conversation by Katelyn Arvin, the lead navigator of the Behavioral Health clinic at Baptist Health Richmond. In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, this conversation focuses on some ramifications of the situation. Many parents have their hands full as they navigate work environments, finances, and health concerns, and it is easy to simply think of children as resilient and turn attention to other pressing issues. However, this conversation presents an opportunity to pause and consider more deeply the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on children.

Monday Apr 06, 2020
With stay-at-home orders in place across much of the U.S., families, couples and individuals are learning to live a new normal. In a best-case scenario, this means coping with the challenges of remote working, home schooling, and early morning grocery runs. For others, dealing with COVID-19 includes worries about health conditions, loneliness, and making ends meet. For this podcast, we host a telephone discussion with three mental health professionals from Baptist Health Madisonville. Psychiatrist Shabeer Abubuker, MD, explains the important distinction between “physical” distancing and intentional social connection. The trio offers ways to maintain intimacy in your marriage, create stability for your children, balance work/home, and improve communication.
