Episode Summary:\xa0\xa0Loneliness is a universal struggle that lowers life expectancy, increases anxiety, and causes a profound longing for what we once had. It wreaks havoc on our physical and emotional well-being because it is the opposite of what we were made for. We were MADE FOR PEOPLE \u2014we were made for relationships.
