Relationships and Longevity

You may have noticed there wasn’t an episode last week. That’s because I’ve spent two weeks working on this topic: relationships relative to longevity. I share how relationships seem fractured since the pandemic and my own challenges connecting.  My perspective feels rocky, but there is a desire to lean into human connection with each of you and continue sharing in hopes of strengthening community and our bond to one another. While the national mood and media would have us focus on our differences, our humanity invites us to lean into our commonalities.  

In this episode, I talk about the Blue Zone communities around the globe, where humans have the most longevity and lifespan. I also detail a Harvard study on adult development which says that relationships are the key to happiness — not professional success, wealth, or education. 

Listen in to hear how relationships are the key to healthy longevity, current data and research about life expectancy, and my outlook on my relationship to connection and desire to continue showing up with and for all of you if hearing my voice weekly is beneficial.
