Vivek Murthy: We Are Good Medicine

Vivek Murthy: We Are Good Medicine

Loneliness is more than just a feeling—it shapes how we see ourselves and the world around us. It can make us withdraw, hesitate to reach out, or convince us that connection is for other people. But Dr. Vivek Murthy has spent years reminding us of what is most true: we are meant to hold each other up.

As U.S. Surgeon General (twice!), Vivek confronted some of the biggest public health challenges of our time—addiction, youth mental health, the opioid crisis. But at the heart of it all was something deeply human: our need for each other. In this conversation, Kate and Vivek talk about what actually makes a life full—not perfect, not endlessly productive, but anchored in love and belonging.

Together, they discuss:

  • The quiet ache of loneliness and why so many of us feel it

  • Why relationships, purpose, and service are the real building blocks of a fulfilled life

  • Small, practical ways to reach out, even when it feels awkward

  • How asking for help might bring us closer, not pull us apart.
