In this episode, host Timothy Regan and his life partner Kara Stella bring forth the medicine and gifts that live within the experience of loneliness.
Vivek Murthy, our U.S. Surgeon General, has named loneliness as a serious public health risk for our country, with half of our citizens reporting feeling lonely at any one time.
We explore how NOT to respond to loneliness in ourselves, and then explore nurturing and powerful ways to respond that enhance our social, mental, and spiritual health. Three of our favorites are these:
- Express gratitude to someone else
- Offer support to someone else
- Ask for help from someone else
May your loneliness guide you to your power to rekindle and grow life-giving connections with your fellow humans!
