  • Understanding and Addressing Our Epidemic of Loneliness

    We've all felt it – that sting of isolation and feeling alone even in a crowded room. But what if that feeling isn't just a fleeting moment, but a widespread public health concern? According to the former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthyl, loneliness is a major issue, and recent research from the Making Caring Common (MCC) project at the Harvard Graduate School of Education sheds light on the depth and causes of this "epidemic of loneliness."

    In this bonus episode, Morgane unpacks the findings of this study and what it means for my generation as a Millennial.  She also chats about the solution.

    Source: Based on the article "What is causing our epidemic of loneliness and how can we fix it?" published by the Harvard Graduate School of Education on October 10, 2024. https://www.gse.harvard.edu/ideas/usable-knowledge/24/10/what-causing-our-epidemic-loneliness-and-how-can-we-fix-it

                      • Love on the Apps
                        How do people meet and marry in 2022?  The next two episodes of this podcast set out to find that. I chatted with Rebecca, Brooklyn native, newly married wife and mom.
                        “I met him in the exact way I wasn’t going to meet a man,” Rebecca said reflecting on how she met her husband.
                        Rebecca never thought she needed a man or even a relationship to make her happy. Even after reaching her 30s, she felt the same. Losing her father as a “daddy’s girl” and the pandemic shifted her way of thinking.
