Feeling Lonely? What That Actually Means & What You Can Do About It (w/ Dr. Iain Smith)
Today I'm joined by my dear former colleague and friend Dr. Iain Smith, a psychologist focused on workplace culture and performance. We talk about what loneliness really is, how it's defined, and where it comes from. We explore how it shows up in the modern world of dating and relationships, and what to do about it. This was such a fascinating conversation with tons of rich psychology for anyone who wants to understand their feelings of loneliness better.
