In this episode of Nine to Thrive, I am reflecting on the profound impact of divisiveness on our well-being. What is happening? There is an epidemic of disconnection with shrinking social circles, increased loneliness, and the psychological toll of constant anxiety and hypervigilance. There are also interconnected struggles stemming from divisiveness, such as relationship strain, identity threat, and compassion fatigue. Let’s face it. Life feels like a lot lately.
Here is the thing….We aren’t going to improve our well-being without intentional interventions. In this conversation I share thoughts on the importance of taking action to break the cycle of divisiveness through individual practices, community engagement, and fostering meaningful connections. The episode concludes with practical steps listeners can take to enhance their well-being and contribute positively to their communities.
If you are feeling the fatigue of the divisive world we are living in, check this episode out!
