Episode 37: The Role of Isolation and the Need for Community

Self-Care Series.jpg

What role does isolation play in your mental health and self-care strategy?

Business owners and entrepreneurs are notorious for locking themselves away and keeping their head down all in the name of success. People may offer help, but only they know how to do it "right".

Isolation is no joke and has real impacts on your perspective with reality. In just a few hours of being alone, your sense of time, space and self-worth are dramatically impacted.

Community, as the antithesis of isolation, creates a strong foundation of accountability, support and vulnerability.

Our guest this week, is someone who posted an extremely powerful  message about this very topic and I had to sit down with her to talk about her own journey with isolation, community and mental health.
