Ever wondered what it takes to rekindle the lost art of human connection? Kendell Boysen, a professional life and recovery coach, invites listeners on a journey to explore how convenience has quietly replaced meaningful interactions in our lives. From sending texts instead of having conversations to relying on digital tools over face-to-face contact, Kendell challenges us to rethink our choices.
With engaging anecdotes and expert insights, including thoughts from psychologist Susan Pinker and vulnerability researcher Brené Brown, the episode highlights the biological necessity of connection. Kendell shares practical steps to foster genuine human interaction, like reintroducing small talk and joining in-person groups. The discussion delves into the importance of being needed in a community, not just belonging to one.
Kendell encourages us to embrace the 'B-side' of connection—being part of someone else's story—and offers a touching tale about a village rediscovering its communal spirit. Whether you're feeling unanchored or seeking more purpose, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on rebuilding connections and finding meaning in the everyday moments.
