Today's episode is a re-release from season one, because honestly, humans seem to be feeling lonelier and more disconnected than ever. As two 30-somethings in totally different places and life stages, we've each dealt with our own feelings of deep loneliness and isolation over the last few years. But being alone and being lonely are two very different things, and we’ve learned that getting comfortable spending time on your own can be the ultimate game-changer for your health, happiness and relationships. It all starts with reframing our idea of being alone. After all, personal time is a luxury in our busy lives, and making space to relax, reflect or get creative in solitude has amazing positive outcomes. Even if you thrive off social connection (we see you, extroverts!), finding fulfillment on your own is essential. So, this week we’re exploring how to combat loneliness and enjoy being alone!  Tune in as we chat about:Why people are feeling lonelier than everHow alone time can help you learn about yourselfThe importance of finding personal hobbiesThe real reason those “mental health walks” do wondersThe power of micro-connections and how to make themWays to be part of a communityRedefining your narrative and shifting your mindsetThe mental health benefits of giving backHow to increase your productivity during alone timeWe hope this episode helps you feel a little less lonely and embrace the beauty of being with yourself!   PS: If you’ve been dreaming of pivoting into podcasting but aren’t sure where to start or how to grow, check our consulting services at teachmehowtoadult.ca/howtopodcast.  For show notes and more adulting tips, visit: teachmehowtoadult.ca Sign up for our monthly adulting newsletter: teachmehowtoadult.ca/newsletter  Follow us on the ‘gram: @teachmehowtoadultmedia @yunggillianaire @cailynmichaan Follow us on TikTok: @teachmehowtoadult
