In this episode, which is a bit different to what we had planned initially, Andy talks to himself. (Well, with the help of Art of Brilliance Trainer Jason Todd.) Things aren't normal at the moment and it's VERY easy to be feeling anxious or down about what's going on, especially if you watch the news a lot. So we just want to have a quick chat about a few ways we can try and make things a little easier.
