Ep 259: 10 Questions For the Anniversary of a Big Event

March 06, 2025/ Laura Tremaine

This month marks 5 years still the Covid-19 pandemic turned our lives upside down.

In this episode, I'm sharing 10 questions that can be used as journal prompts or conversation starters on the anniversary of any big event.

I'm focusing my answers to these prompts on the five-year mark of the pandemic, but each question is crafted to be universal for any big event in your past.
