December 1 2020 It's the most... wonderful time.... of the year?  Hello friend. Welcome back! The Quarantine Chronicles is very much alive and well. November was a hectic month to say the least - and cases are on the rise. Life has changed for many people - in both positive and negative aspects. This year I went through an emotional and mental challenge and discovered new and fun hobbies along the way. I feel like I've been on both sides of the spectrum. What about you? In this episode, I explore, reflect and share some of my new hobbies and the latest one - which is..... TUNE IN TO FIND OUT ;-) As always - I can't express enough how THANKFUL I am for everyone who has heard my podcast. 12 countries and counting.

HI :-) It's been a while hasn't it? I was searching through my repressed memory brain files and came across the time when a Marshall's cashier made a sneery comment about a pair of shoes I wanted. Apparently it scarred me more than I realized. It got me thinking - what other areas of our life can people's "influence" spill into? Well in this episode, that's exactly what I discuss! I should also mention that I haven't punched anyone in the face... yet :-) Tune in and follow me on INSTAGRAM to interact with me: @BIGSISTERPLUSONE // You can also email me any theme/subject you want me to talk about: [email protected]. I can't thank you enough for your unconditional support <3 Please take care, stay safe and WASH THOSE HANDS PLS  xoxo, - Big Sis Alex

September 28 2020 I'M BACK!!! (SUBSCRIBE AND REVIEW!) Hello my friend :-) Well whaddayaknow? It's almost October and we are still "social distancing" AKA can't go nowhere or do nothing...  KIDDING. In this episode, I travelled quite a bit actually - of course - while taking all precautions and wearing a mask. Transitions and changes are coming at me like ducks chasing a piece of bread. Did that even make sense? ....I hope so! Anywho! I've also discovered a new video game and I can't stop playing!!! And NO - it's not TETRIS (but great guess!) Listen to find out! Hope you enjoy this episode - and as always - big THANK YOU to new and returning listeners.

August 9 2020 Hello friend. Episode 24? Yup. Still in quarantine? Yup. Tired of it? YUP! Look, I'm not going down the "Karen" rabbit hole - but I certainly am tired of the limited social interaction. Extraverts (like myself) feel a little piece of their soul die as each day goes by. Hopefully this episode makes you feel less alone and informs you on the RONA numbers here in San Diego as well as TOP 5 countries + USA States with the most cases. Also - tune in for weekend updates and more!  THANK YOU so much for listening and SHOUT OUT to you if you're listening from Canada, UK, France, Guatemala and India! I cannot express how thankful I am for your support.
