Listen as host Sebastian Calmes, a Wellness Specialist with UK HR Health and Wellness and Dr. Laura Escobar-Ratliff, Director of the College of Social Work DSW program and Clinical Assistant Professor, discuss the topic of social connection. In this episode we learn that feeling socially connected is a two-way street. Meaning that social connection is our responsibility. Something that requires intentionality in order to create and maintain meaningful social connections. We also learned having a core group of connections provides us with a space to be our authentic selves. A place where we can share not only our wins, but our losses too. Each month, Sebastian Calmes will interview an expert guest with the conversation aimed at deepening the resilience practice and meditation offered by co-hosts, Amy Rodquist-Kodet and Jackie Carroll.
