Living in a city that never sleeps, like Las Vegas, taught me a valuable lesson about the nature of friendships. The hustle and bustle often blurred the lines between acquaintances and true friends. Inspired by insights from Travis Chapel and Marissa Franco, I share how vulnerability and genuine curiosity can help distinguish and deepen these connections. As we navigate the complexities of adult life, it becomes increasingly vital to reflect on our own roles in fostering these relationships and to pursue meaningful connections amidst our busy schedules. In this episode of the Weekly Drop, we explore the art of nurturing deep friendships through intentional actions and vulnerability. Drawing inspiration from Laura Tremaine's "Share Your Stuff, I'll Go First," I recount personal stories about the transformative power of reaching out during difficult times without expecting anything in return. We delve into the essence of consistent communication and its role in transforming acquaintances into true friends, as outlined in "Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World." Learn how embracing vulnerability and openness can lead to stronger bonds and turn conflicts into opportunities for growth.  

If I told you something that went unaddressed could affect our health as much as smoking would, I bet you'd want to know and then take action. Tune in today to learn what's now being called “the new smoking” (and no, it's not sitting this time, though that's worth addressing, too!)   LET'S TALK THE WALK! ***NEW*** Facebook Group for Our Community!

“Addressing loneliness is a public health issue as important as tobacco or obesity”.In a world that is more interconnected than ever via technology and social media, why do so many of us feel lonely? And how can we change that?Dr. Vivek Murthy, the 21st Surgeon General of the United States is the man putting loneliness at the top of the public health agenda. Nominated by Barack Obama and Joe Biden as ‘the Nation's Doctor', his ground-breaking work on the physical and mental impact of social disconnection is changing the narrative around loneliness and shifting much of the shame and stigma that exist around this topic.In this significant conversation Dr. Murthy and Annie discuss what loneliness actually looks like, their own personal stories of loneliness and tips for how you can address loneliness in your own life.To find out more:Twitter: @Surgeon_General Instagram: @u.s.surgeongeneral Facebook: @U.S. Surgeon General For all of Dr. Murthy's priority issue areas, please visit surgeongeneral.gov/prioritiesYou can buy a copy of Dr. Murthy's book ‘ Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World here: https://www.vivekmurthy.com/together-bookDr. Murthy also hosts his own podcast called House Calls with Dr. Vivek Murthy, you can find it anywhere you listen to podcasts or at surgeongeneral.gov/housecallsLoneliness charities: https://www.samaritans.org/ and https://www.campaigntoendloneliness.org/Annie's article about loneliness:https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/jul/09/dj-annie-macmanus-it-was-a-shock-to-realise-i-was-lonelyChanges is a deaf friendly podcast, transcripts can be accessed here: https://www.anniemacmanus.com/changes Hosted on Acast.

Please enjoy this Encore presentation of Tricia and Doro's conversation with Dr Vivek Murthy. This was originally released on October 6, 2020.  Dr. Vivek Murthy served as the 19th Surgeon General of the United States from December 2014 to April 2017. During this time, Dr. Murthy created initiatives to tackle the United States' most urgent public health issues, which included addition, chronic stress, and demystifing vaccines. In addition to his role as U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Murthy also served as the Vice Admiral of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, where he commanded a uniformed service of 6,600 public health officers, serving the most underserved and vulnerable populations in over 800 locations domestically and abroad. He worked with thousands of Commissioned Corps officers to strengthen the Corps and protect the nation from Ebola and Zika and to respond to the Flint water crisis, major hurricanes, and frequent health care shortages in rural communities. Recently, Dr. Murthy published “Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World”, which looks at loneliness as a public health concern and explores the ways in which we can overcome it. We are honored to be able to share this special conversation with you, which was also featured in this year's 2020 Co-Mindfulness Summit. 

What is loneliness? It's a feeling a lot of people are having nowadays. And if we can get to the heart of this question, we can come up with some strategies to minimize it for ourselves. Cigna conducted a study in 2022 and revealed that 58% (!) of people say they always or sometimes feel like people don't know them well.So today I want to talk about loneliness. I want to talk about its definition, the 3 types that researchers have found, and why I think having an understanding of the concept of loneliness can help us combat it. Loneliness does not have to be an elusive mystery. There are things we can do to redirect our energy and slowly chip away at this feeling so we can all feel a little less lonely.In this episode you'll hear about:The definition of loneliness, and how it differs from social isolation. Isolation is a risk factor for loneliness, but it is not loneliness3 dimensions of loneliness: intimate or emotional loneliness, relational or social loneliness, and collective lonelinessWhy some of our loneliness can be blamed on our expectations that come from societal messages, pop culture, mass media, social media, or even expectations we're holding on to about a certain friendshipHow to recalibrate our expectations by ignoring the the shiny, unrealistic highlight reels of someone else's life in favor of celebrating the quiet moments we have with friends that may not be that interesting from the outside looking inThe incredible value of pouring into our “weak ties” and building a broader support system, rather than focusing on one or two relationshipsResources & LinksLearn more about loneliness at Campaign to End Loneliness and read their facts and statistics about loneliness here.Check out the book Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World by Vivek H.

Music as a vehicle in worship.  ‘He [sic] who sings, prays twice' Saint Augustine – music transports people towards the divine.   How music connects ourselves with ourselves.  Faure's Requiem – the healing power of music  How music helps us to live in the world as it actually is right now.  Joe describes the brilliant Stroke Oddessys project he has been involved with.  Joe goes into the detail of the exciting ECLAS funded project at St. Paul's Knightbridge researching the relationship between music in liturgy and wellbeing.  Joe gives his one bit of advice for flourishing.  Links: St Paul's Knightsbridge  Cowbridge Music Festival  In Paradisum, Faure's Requiem  Brain Oddessys Charity  ECLAS  Go Health Community Follow GoHealth on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook @guildofhealth  

Join Joyce and Dr. Vivek Murthy, 19th Surgeon General of the United States and author of “Together- The Healing Power of Social Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World” for an amazing conversation about loneliness and the need for social connection.

We need a modicum of vitality to simply be alive in this time. And we're in an enduringly tender place. The mental health crisis that is invoked all around, especially as we look to the young, is one manifestation of the gravity of the post-2020 world. How to name and honor this more openly? How to hold that together with the ways we've been given to learn and to grow? Who are we called to be moving forward? Dr. Vivek Murthy is a brilliant, wise, and kind companion in these questions. He's a renowned physician and research scientist in his second tenure as U.S. Surgeon General. And for years, he's been naming and investigating loneliness as a public health matter, including his own experience of that very human condition. It is beyond rare to be in the presence of a person holding high governmental office who speaks about love with ease and dignity — and about the agency to be healers that is available to us all. There is so much here to walk away with, and into. This conversation quieted and touched a room full of raucous podcasters at the 2023 On Air Fest in Brooklyn.There are many resources for mental health support. If you're in the U.S., find some of them here.Vivek Murthy is the 21st Surgeon General of the United States. He also served in this role from 2014 to 2017.

An excerpt from the On Being episode, "To Be a Healer." The extraordinary physician and public servant stilled a raucous room full of storytellers and podcasters with this offering at the 2023 On Air Fest.Vivek Murthy is the 21st Surgeon General of the United States.

And he's the author of Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World.

We live in a world constantly bombarding us with messages about who we are, what the good life looks like, and how we can obtain it. In a culture carried by the whims of personal desire and comfort, we hear values like “follow your heart;” in a culture where we are constantly divided from one another, we start to believe that our spite is justified; in a culture that is constantly blaming others, we jump into the blame game. Yet each of these notions lead us not to life, freedom, or peace, but further into death, captivity, and anxiety. In Jesus' ministry, He regularly spoke against all sorts of notions that we consider commonplace today, and in listening and applying His words together, we will find a lasting, peaceful, joyous life in the midst of a culture mired in anxiety, division, and hatred. Listen as Pastor Clint explores our culture's epidemic of loneliness, and the way Jesus responds to the common notion, "I am alone." Sermon Resources: 1.

I arise today.” -Excerpt from the Prayer of St. Patrick 4. “The spiritual task is not to escape your loneliness, not to let yourself drown in it, but to find its source. This is not so easy to do, but when you can somehow identify the place from which these feelings emerge, they will lose some of their power over you. This identification is not an intellectual task; it is a task of the heart. With your heart you must search for that place without fear.” -Henri Nouwen 5. “What seemed primarily painful may then become a feeling that, though painful, opens for you the way to an even deeper knowledge of God's love.” -Henri Nouwen 6. “The Christian needs another Christian who speaks God's Word to them. They need them again and again when they become uncertain and discouraged, for by themselves they cannot help themselves without belying the truth. We need our brother or sister as a bearer and proclaimer of the divine word of salvation. We need our brother or sister solely because of Jesus Christ. The Christ in our own heart is weaker than the Christ in the word of our brother or sister; our own heart is uncertain, our brother's or sister's is sure.” -Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Life Together Join us below: Facebook: www.facebook.com/midtownpreschurch Instagram: www.instagram.com/midtown.pres Website: www.midtownpres.org Community Groups: www.midtownpres.org/community-groups Sunday Services: www.midtownpres.org

Do you struggle to enjoy alone time? Or do you love taking yourself off for alone time, but struggle to justify it to your partner or family? Does your fear of time alone drive you to unhealthy levels of busy-ness? Or are you desperate to find just five minutes for yourself? Is the idea of ‘needing space' from someone a foreign concept? Or else, do you struggle to maintain your independence in your relationships? Do you want to celebrate and benefit from your alone time – however much, or little, of it you get? Francesca Specter is the woman for you.

“We now understand in the rapidly growing field of traumatology, those kinds of traumas can be more damaging to our nervous system regulation and the state of our brain than adverse childhood experiences.” - Dr. Lissa Rankin  Dr. Lissa Rankin didn't expect to go down a particular path when she left her promising career as an OBGYN in 2007. The plan was to focus on her own health and well-being during a two-year sabbatical, but she soon came face-to-face with people who were doing all the right things – eating well, yoga, and other popular wellness practices – yet they were some of the sickest people she had ever met. When she started asking them deep-rooted questions about their lives, her passion and purpose suddenly revealed itself. She realized what was holding people back from feeling better – developmental trauma. In today's episode, Dr. Michelle Robin invites Dr. Rankin to unpack the story behind what made her go around the globe to collect tools from the world's medicine bag (from experts, traditions, faith healers, spiritual healers, energy healers). She was on a quest to find out how these things could transform lives – especially for those who weren't aware they experienced developmental trauma growing up. She'll also share about her latest book release called Sacred Medicine, and why developmental trauma is such a danger to our nervous system and our brain health.  About Today's Guests:  Lissa Rankin, MD, is a mind-body medicine physician, author of seven books, founder of the Whole Health Medicine Institute, and mystic who researches radical remission, trauma-informed medicine, and spiritual healing. Her TEDx talks have been viewed over 5 million times, and she starred in two National Public Television specials – Heal Yourself: Mind Over Medicine and The Fear Cure. Lissa's interest in the link between loneliness and disease led her to spearhead her latest project. Heal At Last, a non-profit organization which aims to bring effective trauma healing and spiritual healing methods to anyone ready for the deep dive of healing.  Mentioned in the Episode:  Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself book by Lissa Rankin Sacred Medicine: A Doctor's Quest to Unravel the Mysteries of Healing  by Lissa Rankin The Shocking Truth About Your Health TedTalk by Lissa Rankin Kitchen Table Wisdom book Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World book Lissa Rankin on Facebook Lissa Rankin on Twitter Lissa Rankin on Instagram Lissa Rankin's blog HealAtLast.org Healing with The Muse

Rustic. Refined. Cutesy. Elegant. Modern. Traditional. No matter your tastes, there's a place to suit you in today's online rental market. What you probably don't go looking for, though, is a person who comes with dream destination.Laurel Moffatt examines the boom in the short-term rental economy which has had a perverse effect on the life of the modern city. Even though we travel to more interesting locations, the sector has disrupted or further disintegrated social connections, particularly when a city has a high volume of listings.The antidote to the problem of loneliness, though, is not medication, but human connection. Forget artfully arranged towels and bowls of fresh lemons on the bench. Connection with others and the gift of one another's presence is the truly beautiful thing.LINKSMore numbers about the worth of the sharing economy.“The Airbnb Effect on Housing and Rent,” Forbes, Feb 21, 2020.Vivek, Murthy, M.D. Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World.But perhaps you'd rather visit Jerry's Lakehouse than read these articles?

This episode is brought to you by Rupa Health, Athletic Greens, and InsideTracker. Community is medicine, just like food or sleep. Without community, we can become isolated, which has been found to be connected with inflammation and can even negatively impact immune response. Moreover, whom you choose to be in community with also matters. Your immediate social circle—the four-to-five people you surround yourself with the most—has the greatest influence on your health. In today's episode, I talk with Radha Agrawal, Dan Buettner, and Dr. Vivek Murthy about why community matters, what we have learned from cultures that prioritize community in their population, and how to take care of our needs first before giving to others.Radha Agrawal is the Co-founder, CEO, and Chief Community Architect of Daybreaker, the early morning dance and wellness move-ment. Daybreaker currently holds events in 25 cities and more than a dozen college campuses around the world and has a community of almost half a million people. She is also the author of the book, Belong: Find Your People, Create Community, and Live a More Connected Life. Dan Buettner is an explorer, National Geographic Fellow, award-winning journalist and producer, and New York Times bestselling author. He discovered the five places in the world— dubbed Blue Zones hotspots—where people live the longest, healthiest lives. Dr. Vivek H. Murthy served as the 19th Surgeon General of the United States from December 15, 2014 to April 21, 2017 and was confirmed by the United States Senate on March 23, 2021 as the 21st Surgeon General of the United States. In 2017, Dr. Murthy focused his attention on chronic stress and loneliness as prevalent problems that have profound implications for health, productivity, and happiness. He is the author of, Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World.

From Project BFF HQ, Terri and Manya riff about loneliness and how having friends helps combat it.We thrive when we are connected. And social connections are the key to happiness and health. "Loneliness can have long-term effects on health and is as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes a day."How to build a more connected life:Get to know yourself, connect with yourself and your  own instinctsHave/cultivate self-compassion. This can soften the blow of judgement and ridicule from people who don't understand usObstacles to building friendships can raise the risk of loneliness. People skilled at friendship may have a natural defense against prolonged or severe loneliness.

Creating Health Outside Of The Doctor’s Office | This episode is brought to you by InsideTrackerEven before the coronavirus pandemic, we were facing a loneliness crisis in America. And we know that loneliness is correlated with a range of negative health outcomes. While this information can feel a bit depressing and overwhelming, it also offers insight into how we can make essential shifts towards a healthier and happier society. Community-based healthcare offers amazing potential for creating long-lasting improvements to individual health and has the ability to revolutionize healthcare.In this mini-episode, Dr. Hyman speaks to Dr. Vivek Murthy about how loneliness is affecting us. He also speaks with Tawny Jones about why community-supported healthcare is so successful; they dive into the amazing benefits that a group approach can have when it comes to reversing disease. Dr. Vivek Murthy is the current Surgeon General of the United States and also served as the 19th Surgeon General between 2014-2017. As the Vice Admiral of the US Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, he commanded a uniformed service of 6,600 public health officers globally. During his tenure, Dr. Murthy launched the TurnTheTide campaign, catalyzing a movement among health professionals to address the nation’s opioid crisis. He also issued the first Surgeon General’s Report on Alcohol, Drugs, and Health, calling for expanded access to prevention and treatment and for recognizing addiction as a chronic illness, not a character flaw. In 2017, Dr. Murthy focused his attention on chronic stress and loneliness as prevalent problems that have profound implications for health, productivity, and happiness. His book Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World was published in April 2020.Tawny Jones is an accomplished Administrator at the Cleveland Clinic. For over 20 years, she has served as a well-respected leader, managing patient concentric care initiatives, creating value, and delivering results in quality improvement, efficient resource management, and health system optimization for various clinical departments.

Dr. Vivek Murthy served as the 19th Surgeon General of the United States from December 2014 to April 2017. As America's Doctor, he called the nation's attention to critical public health issues including the opioid epidemic, e-cigaretes and emotional health and wellbeing. Prior to serving in government, he conducted research on vaccine development and clinical trial participation and founded several organizations focused on HIV/AIDS education, rural health, physician advocacy and clinical trial optimization. He is the author of Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World. After being sworn in, Dr. Murthy embarked on a listening tour to see what was affecting communities across the United States. He found that, regardless of occupation, location or economic status, there was a crisis of loneliness that was not being formally addressed. Anywhere from 22-50% of people suffer from loneliness, far more than the number of people currently living with diabetes. ————————————————————————— To learn more about this episode, including podcast transcripts and show notes, visit *salt.org/talks* ( http://salt.org/talks ) Moderated by Anthony Scaramucci.

Podcast: Vox Conversations (LS 75 · TOP 0.05% what is this?)Episode: Best of: Vivek Murthy on America's loneliness epidemicPub date: 2020-11-23At the holidays, I wanted to share some of my favorite episodes of the show with you (we'll be back next week with brand new episodes). My conversation with Vivek Murthy tops that list, and it has particular force this Thanksgiving, when so many are alone on a day when connection means so much.As US surgeon general from 2014 to 2017, Murthy visited communities across the United States to talk about issues like addiction, obesity, and mental illness. But he found that what Americans wanted to talk to him about the most was loneliness. In a 2018 report by the Kaiser Family Foundation, 22 percent of all adults in the US — almost 60 million Americans — said they often or always felt lonely or socially isolated.Murthy went on to write Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World, and was recently named one of the co-chairs of Joe Biden's coronavirus task force. Those projects may sound different, but they connect: Coronavirus has made America's loneliness crisis far worse. Social distancing, while necessary from a public health standpoint, has caused a collapse in social contact among family, friends, and entire communities. And the people most vulnerable to the virus — the elderly, the disabled, the ill — are also unusually likely to suffer from loneliness. Murthy's explanation of how loneliness acts on the body is worth the time, all on its own — it'll change how you see the relationship between social experience and physical health. But the broader message here is deeper: You are not alone in your loneliness. None of us are. And the best thing we can do for our own feeling of isolation is often to help someone else out of the very pit we're in.Book recommendations:Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch AlbomConversations with God by Neale Donald WalschDear Madam President by Jennifer PalmieriCredits:Producer/Audio engineer - Jeff GeldResearcher - Roge KarmaPlease consider making a contribution to Vox to support this show: bit.ly/givepodcasts Your support will help us keep having ambitious conversations about big ideas.New to the show?

Dr. Vivek Murthy served as the 19th Surgeon General of the United States from December 2014 to April 2017. During this time, Dr. Murthy created initiatives to tackle the United States' most urgent public health issues, which included addition, chronic stress, and demystifing vaccines. In addition to his role as U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Murthy also served as the Vice Admiral of the U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, where he commanded a uniformed service of 6,600 public health officers, serving the most underserved and vulnerable populations in over 800 locations domestically and abroad. He worked with thousands of Commissioned Corps officers to strengthen the Corps and protect the nation from Ebola and Zika and to respond to the Flint water crisis, major hurricanes, and frequent health care shortages in rural communities. Recently, Dr. Murthy published “Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World”, which looks at loneliness as a public health concern and explores the ways in which we can overcome it. We are honored to be able to share this special conversation with you, which was also featured in this year's 2020 Co-Mindfulness Summit. 

The COVID-19 Pandemic has led to the need for sheltering at home and practicing social distancing. We are physically separated from loved ones and our interactions with others have greatly reduced. These decreases in our social interactions are likely to lead to more loneliness. However, Americans were lonely before the pandemic. Shasta Nelson who wrote Friendships don't just happen identified 5 circles of connectedness: contact, common, confirmed, community, and committed friends. She distinguish these circles by the level of intimacy, frequency, and consistency of contact. Let's discuss loneliness and what we can do. Holt-Lunstad, J., Smith, T.

Now more than ever, loneliness is a growing public health concern as communities continue to require social distancing and self-isolation to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Because humans are social creatures, at the center of our loneliness is our innate desire to connect, forge lasting bonds, help one another, and share life experiences. In his new book Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World, Dr. Murthy warns of the dangers of loneliness and the lasting impact it can have on our health. He will be joined by Dr. Lucy Kalanithi for a poignant conversation on his four key strategies to weather this epidemic during this difficult time and beyond. Dr. Murthy was appointed by President Barack Obama and served as the 19th surgeon general of the United States. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy says America faced a loneliness epidemic long before we started social distancing to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. Now, Murthy tells CBS News' Dr. Tara Narula that our current situation could either drive us further apart or serve as a "reset" to help us emerge more connected than before the global pandemic. Murthy discusses his new book, "Together: The Healing Power of Human Connection in a Sometimes Lonely World," and the importance of creating and maintaining bonds with the people in our lives. Murthy explains the physical and mental health dangers of loneliness and offers steps on how we can tackle the problem.
