Self Care Big 5: Socialization

Do you have strong social connections? Are you deeply connecting with people, in person, weekly or monthly? Or, do you get your social connection through social media and is that good enough?

In this episode, Lauren dives into the importance of socialization for our health. The chemicals it triggers in our brain and how those lead to better cognitive skills, less stress, better mental health, and a stronger immune system. She also dives into social media and whether scrolling Instagram counts as social connection (spoiler: it doesn’t) and why or why not. 

Mentioned in this episode: 

• Meetup 
• 36 Questions to Fall in Love
• Bumble BFF
