"Your home is supposed to be a haven." Sofia Haq in this episode I continue talking to Sofia and while part two, published yesterday, focuses on how to regain control through collaboration, this part focuses on having a toxic home life and a somewhat ironic way to escape it.

Music by Clueless Kit, now known as Marc Wavy: snake, 4 life, cooler man it’s winter now, not flume, last month, and oroville

So, yes, I realize it's been a month. Tbh I was and maybe to some extent still am someone who thinks art or, more specifically, creating it is unnecessary or unimportant or only worth it after all the other almost infinite responsibilities and tasks and intellectually rigorous work is completed. But art and making it is intellectually rigorous. In fact, in the unannounced hiatus I took from this I saw a post on ig (follow @aminaofskiveo) that essentially said, during these unexpected (for some) times one of the first things to which we fled is the arts, entertainment...media. When I am afraid and searching for meaning in something incomprehensible or reprehensible, art has a way of injecting displacing emotions. This episode and its partner, to be released tomorrow, should prepare you for the astounding (not an overstatement) lineup of guests and, importantly, topics to be published rapidly.

Yes, even former Surgeon General, Vivek Murthy regards loneliness as an epidemic and a study carried out by Julianne Holt-Lundstad, at least, studied over 3.4 million people across the planet reveals shocking findings about loneliness. So, how does loneliness impact mind and body? Can you compensate for loneliness through a factor that has zilch to do with social interaction? And, what is the difference between loneliness and isolation? What does student debt have to do with it? Sofia Haq, founder of the organization, Muslim Women Professionals (@muslimwomenprofessionals on instagram) which regularly conducts offline gatherings to cultivate real social connectivity is this series' guest. And she and I go deep. Enjoy!

This series is so profound it needs its own trailer. We’re finally covering (yes, there was an instagram poll long ago)…the Loneliness Epidemic. No, I did not name it that. Look it up. It’s a thing.

The stunning research mentioned: Risk of three factors, loneliness, social isolation, and living alone, greater than smoking 15 cigarettes a day: https://paw.princeton.edu/article/bye-bye-loneliness

Reduction of cardiovascular and neuroendocrine stress responses that can occur after just thinking of a supportive person: https://www.apa.org/members/content/holt-lunstad-loneliness-social-connections

A seasoned crowdfunding expert, Khalida DuBose, has coached and consulted more than 1,000 project creators on crowdfunding their products, services, charities, passions, and more. She got her start in crowdfunding in 2016 when she volunteered to raise $6k for one of her favorite charities. She surpassed her goal and raised $15k! Amazed at the power of crowdfunding she accepted a job as the head campaign coach for the niche crowdfunding platform. In just two short years Khalida helped creators raise tens of millions of dollars for their projects and passions. She helped a budding non-profit organization go from raising a little under $30k via crowdfunding in 2016/2017 to raising more than $200k the following year in 2018, and more than $1 million currently. She helped a college student, turned entrepreneur launch his project for a themed journal and raised more than $11k to share his idea and product with his target audience. She is passionate about educating, consulting, and watching clients thrive as they find alternative means of financing for bringing their passion, vision, product or service to the world without compromising on their vision of how they want to make an impact.
