Thank you for listening to our very first installment of Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself! On this episode, Michael joins Kareese to discuss the ins and outs of emotional isolation. We delve into its true definition, which generation is the most negatively affected, and how we pull ourselves out of our own despair when emotional isolation hits us. Michael opens up about choices he made in the past that fed his emotional isolationist tendencies, while reflecting on its cause and the consequences it had on every aspect of his life. Together, we use the research we conducted and our own experience to find ways that all of us can be better friends, partners and strangers to one another (hint: it has to do with compassion).
