I am joined by special guest Sarah Siegert, a loneliness coach based in London. We discuss the link between socialrelationships and longevity. The episode covers various aspects including why friendships are pivotal for a long life, the adverse effects of loneliness, ways to cultivate meaningful connections, and the significance of self-work inimproving relationships.
