In the third episode of The Human Reconnect Podcast, your host and co-hosts tackle the subject of community. This intersectional topic is broken down across several episodes, with episode three diving into the physical environment that communities are built around and consist of. Discussion includes the histories of communities, the importance of soft edges and spaces, and how the environment can either foster or discourage connection between humans. The host and co-hosts reflect on their weekly challenge and introduce a new challenge to the listeners to create soft edges that increase potential for connection and to use their community “shared spaces” where they have the opportunity to connect with others in those spaces. They close with a 988 reminder and a disclaimer that the podcast is not mental health treatment or diagnostic advice. Below are the research articles and resources mentioned or referenced during this episode.
