194: Craving Connection? Why Community Is So Vital to Your Mental Health with Casey Molina

So many of us are feeling disconnected, lonely, and unsure of how to build meaningful support, and if you struggle with anxiety, panic disorder, or agoraphobia, this can feel even more intense. In this episode, I’m joined by writer, poet, and integrative health coach Casey Molina for a heartfelt and eye-opening conversation about the role true community plays in our mental and emotional well-being.

We talk about the difference between having friends and having community, why connection can feel so hard (or even inconvenient), and how our culture of individualism and instant gratification impacts our ability to show up for ourselves and others.

Whether you’re craving deeper connection or simply wondering why loneliness feels so heavy these days, this conversation will help you feel seen, and remind you that you're not alone in feeling this way.

We chat about:

  • The difference between friendships and real community
  • Why community can feel so hard to build (especially when you're anxious)
  • The emotional toll of isolation and how it fuels anxiety
  • Why small, intentional steps can help you start building meaningful support
  • What you have to offer others, and how giving can be healing
  • The role of vulnerability, self-compassion, and unlearning in creating connection
  • How to move from craving community to actually creating it
