In the FINAL episode of the Relate podcast, I reflect on what I have learned throughout these past 200 episodes, why it will always be important to relate to one another, why human connection is the key to a life of fulfillment, and why we must figure out a way to coexist with technology while not downgrading our humanity. Thank you so much for joining me on this journey!

It can be easy to get wrapped up in the mob mentality online, shaming and demeaning others in favor of making ourselves seem more virtuous and superior. In this episode of Relate, we talk about why it's so important to remember that there is a human on the other side of our digital tirades and why we must do a better job at exercising empathy both on and off our screens.

In this episode of Relate, we talk about the importance of sharing a meal together, whether it be with family, friends, or complete strangers. When we sit down to share a meal together, we have this opportunity to connect with one another on a deeper level.

In the information age, we are bombarded by so much content that we can spend a hundred life times consuming it and still have a bunch of content left over to consume. There is a pressure to always create content, especially if we believe it will help us advance in our careers in some way. In this episode of Relate, we discuss why we must not succumb to this pressure and why we must put boundaries in place in our content creation so as to not fall down the pressurized rabbit hole.

In this episode of Relate, we talk about recognizing what is important to ourselves, what is important to others, and how to balance the two. Way too often we try to impress others by throwing our accomplishments at them, expecting them to care. What we should be doing is pursuing goals and dreams that are important to us while cultivating relationships in a genuine way.

We are often stuck between doing what we have to do versus doing what we want to do. While it's important to be responsible and disciplined, it's also important that your wants don't fall by the wayside. In this episode of Relate, we discuss balancing this conundrum and why we must not forfeit our wants by living in the "have to" space all the time.

Some of us live in the past, some live in the present, and some live in the future. Or, we should say we think in the past, present, or future. In this episode, we discuss how our thinking, as it relates to time, can really hold us back from living a fulfilling life. Instead, we should flip the narrative and discover what we should learn about these time periods to best serve ourselves and the ways in which we live our lives.

Relating to others is definitely part-art, part-science. It's when we yield to the other person and talk about their interests, goals, and passions that we tend to make the deepest connection, instead of making the conversation all about ourselves. In this episode of Relate, we dive into the details of how to relate to people and why we should focus on our similarities much more than our differences.
