Listen "414. The Importance of Social Connection with Andy Proctor"
Episode Synopsis
Have you ever felt lonely, even when you're surrounded by people? Maybe you're a new mom who doesn't have extra resources, or someone who works full-time with no time to socialize. Too many people live without a sense of belonging or connection, and this is more deadly than we think. I'm speaking to Andy Proctor, a psychology PhD student studying how friendship and social connection impact our health. He's sharing the role social connection plays in our religion, why we underestimate the dangers of social disconnection, and his practical strategies for fostering more friendships and connections.
