How does loneliness affect your ability to care for others? Loneliness and burnout are endemic in American society these days, and their impact on care workers and, by extension, the people they care for, is significant.
In this episode, Alida Miranda-Wolff questions the widespread belief that creators, specifically, are unable to form meaningful relationships. She expands this concept to explore the detrimental effects of loneliness and offers actionable recommendations for developing belonging and community that will enhance our personal and professional relationships.
Start to feel a little less alone as you learn from Alida’s insights:
- Why millions of Americans report severe loneliness and a lack of close friendships
- What causes us to “use up” relationships and abandon them in the long term
- How loneliness directly impacts our ability to show up at work
- How self-leadership and other tools can help us deal with the symptoms and impacts of burnout
