Listen "Science Says You Need Social Support"
Episode Synopsis
When you feel alone with your worries, disconnected from others, or burdened by old patterns you can’t seem to shake, it’s easy to think you’re supposed to handle everything by yourself. But science — and deep wisdom traditions — show that feeling genuinely supported is not a luxury; it’s essential for resilience, healing, and well-being. In this talk, we explore how to recognize and receive the social support already around you, and how to strengthen it inside your own mind.You’re welcome to join me live each week for these talks—for free—by signing up here.
