Human connection and friendship isn't just a "feel good" or "nice to have" thing...

We're literally hardwired for connection and rely on it for survival.

This week, I'll share stories of loneliness, some statistics and data on what happens when we don't prioritize connection, plus some suggestions on what you can do if you're feeling lonely right now. 

In this episode, you’ll hear….

• Stories from when I've felt the most lonely (including something that happened to me recently)
• The science behind why we care about connection and what happens with our brains when we don't get it
• Stats from the CDC on what happens when we don't prioritize connection
• Action items to start implementing for when you don't know how to connect with others 
• Ways to reframe prioritizing connection when we'd rather just "stay in" or are just super busy...
