The Third Space & Why You Need One

What if one of the most powerful things you could do for your health had nothing to do with what’s on your plate—and everything to do with where you spend your time? Not more time at home. Not more time at the office. We’re talking about that in-between space. The one where conversations happen easily, no one expects anything from you, and you can simply exist alongside other people. It’s called the Third Space. And lately, Brierley and I have been a little obsessed with the concept. So in today’s episode, we’re breaking down what a third space actually is, how to find one, and—maybe most importantly—why it could be one of the most impactful things you can do for your mental and physical health.
