Is It OK To Want A Mediocre Life?

How concerned should we be about Coronavirus? Some media outlets have been accused of causing panic and anxiety but how do we keep cool heads with information coming from everywhere?

Also, last weekend, Mia’s daughter Coco went to her first underage music festival. During the event, 12 children were strip-searched including six who were allegedly found to be concealing drugs “internally". Is there ever a valid excuse for underage drug searches?

Plus, what if all I want is a small, slow, simple life? And what if I’m ok with being mediocre? An article by Krista O'Reilly-Davi-Digui’s is circulating and we discuss these important questions.
