43. The Psychology of Connection and Loneliness with Jemma Sbeg

What is connection? And why is connection so important? Not just for our hearts, but for our overall health and wellbeing?

What about loneliness? In many ways the inverse of connection, how does loneliness impact our lives? Mentally? Emotionally? Physically?

In this episode of Flirtations, we welcome Jemma Sbeg to the show, creator and host of the "Psychology of Your 20's Podcast" to have a conversation with us all about connection and loneliness.

What drives our need for connection? What are some challenges we face when connecting? Why might vulnerability and opening up cause us anxiety? What can we do to overcome this?

How about loneliness? Where does loneliness come from and why can we feel it so deeply? What can we do to bring more connection into our lives and combat loneliness?

Finally, yoga teacher Flirt Coach is back with a meditation for you on connection! For the final part of the episode, I invite you to get cozy and settle into a guided meditation all about bringing more connection into our lives!
