Self-care is an art. Tracy G can teach you how to master it.

One year into a global pandemic that has taken hundreds of
thousands of lives and disrupted the routines and relationships of
millions more, we would all do well to take a moment to take stock
of where we are—mentally, physically, spiritually. Tracy G is here
to help you do just that. A self-described “wellness artist” and
host of the podcast “She’s Beauty & The Beast,” Tracy is
overflowing with wisdom and advice for staying not just sane but
grateful when it seems like so much is beyond our control. We ask
Tracy about adapting to pandemic life, how to keep “self-care” from
becoming self-indulgent and how plants can serve as a really useful
metaphor for friendships (really). In Signs of the Times, several
U.S. bishops have released statements that could lead to confusion
among Catholics about whether it is morally permissible to take the
Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine. Zac and Ashley discuss: Can
too much nuance get in the way of effective communication? Plus,
Pope Francis is making a historic visit to Iraq, March 5 to March
8. We share a clip from Inside the Vatican’s deep dive into the
trip which answers the question: Why is the pope so set on going to
warzone amid a global pandemic?  This episode of Jesuitical is
