Can We Talk: Loneliness

May 13, 2019 by Dana G

This episode is about loneliness: what it is, why so many of us feel it, and the surprising toll loneliness takes on our physical and mental health. The health effects of chronic loneliness are akin to smoking 15 cigarettes every day—it literally shortens our lives. Yet it can feel vulnerable to name it when we feel lonely. This show examines the risk factors for loneliness, the influence of social media, and how creative approaches to loneliness can leave us more connected and resilient.

We combine compelling storytelling with practical expert guidance to give you the tools you need to start your own courageous conversations.…read more »
