Would you make time to see your friends more often if you knew that loneliness is as bad for you as smoking half a pack a day? It’s so easy to feel like there isn’t enough time for socialising when you’re already feeling tired, busy, and overwhelmed, but what if social connection and community are the medicine you need?

This episode, I’m joined by Dr. Michelle Peris, ND, and creator of the women’s circle The Wild Collective. She shares how she overcame difficult experiences with girls growing up, and why she believes women gathering in circle helps us heal, own our stories, and step into our full power.

Key takeaways:

• Fatigue isn’t always physical, it may be that you social energy cup in running dry
• Why sharing our stories (even when you think you don’t “have a story”) helps heal both you and the listener 
• Why making “head-based” practical decisions often steers us away from what our bodies actually want and need
