Did you know that the U.S. Surgeon General sent out an advisory in 2023 stating that we are currently in a loneliness EPIDEMIC?! (1) Whaaat?
There are over 300,000,000 (that's 300 m-m-m-million) people in the United States (2), which makes this report sound crazy (and sad), but if you think about it,
Working from home can be soooo lonely.
Being an entrepreneur can be sooo lonely.
Being a mom can be so lonely.
Being a woman can be, well, you get the picture.
It can be a lonely world.
The good news is that the Surgeon General mentioned in the advisory that there are healing effects in having social connection and community.
So whether you are one, two, or all of the above, come be part of our community!
