You can crave connection and still feel anxious in social situations
When we talk about health, we usually focus on the physical: nutrition, movement, sleep. Maybe we even get into mental health.
But what about social health?
This is the part of wellness that doesn’t get nearly enough attention… and yet it impacts everything.
Your mood. Your energy. Even your lifespan.
I recently had the chance to join Emily Paulsen on her podcast Curious Life of a Childfree Woman for a powerful conversation about something I care deeply about: social health.
Emily and I had a layered conversation about:
Why adult friendships feel harder than they should (it’s not just you)
What happens when the social “containers” of school, office culture, or parenting disappear or are not our reality
How to rethink connection as an essential form of wellbeing because it has a direct impact on our health happiness and longevity
If you’ve ever felt lonely, disconnected, or simply ready for more when it comes to your relationships, I think you’ll resonate with this one.
