In our very first episode, I’m delighted to be joined by Isabel Doraisamy to explore the idea of social health — how our relationships shape our wellbeing and sense of meaning.

We dive into the power of meaningful connections, the importance of community, the experience of loneliness, and the complexity of our social identities.

Isabel shares thoughtful insights on navigating conflict, nurturing real connection, and being more intentional in how we show up for each other.

Isabel also offers simple, practical tips for cultivating meaningful relationships and making space for quality time with the people who matter most.

We touch on a few gems you might want to check out:
