  • Episode 14: The One About Connection
    2023/02/01

    In this episode, Christi and Tara discuss the importance of having meaningful connections with others. From finding your "tribe" to establishing long-lasting relationships that energize you instead of exhaust you, this episode delves into the biological and evolutionary reasons that humans seek out others. Learn how to identify the connections that allow you to be consistently authentic and how forced connection can lead to a unfulfilled life. While social media makes us feel that we have to stay connected to everyone from our first grade crush to our high school sweet heart and even coworkers we barely know, Christi explains how connection is not meant to last forever and that the seasons of life inherently come with letting go of people you once considered essential to your happiness.
