177. Is it possible to be lonely in a hyper connected world?

About this episode

The episode explores the paradox of loneliness in a hyper-connected world and discusses steps to foster healthy community and connection.

It doesn't seem possible, but we are living in a world where we have more tools and forms of communication then we've ever had in our lifetime. And yet, we are probably the loneliest we've ever been as a culture. Why? How is that possible? What are the things that we need to be aware of that could be barriers to moving from loneliness to healthy community and connection? What are the things that we can do as next steps to move from hiding to healing? In this episode, Rodney Holmstrom, global field director of celebrate recovery will help unpack this important topic to help us combat the loneliness that becomes our choice in what we do with it. How does celebrate recovery help us in this process?
