BONUS: Simone Heng on loneliness & the five types of human connection we all need

This week is Australia's first ever Loneliness Awareness Week. It's a national epidemic and through Motherland's work, we know there are so many rural mums out there who are struggling with feelings of loneliness and isolation. Simone Heng is a human connection expert. Her new book, Loneliness- Let's talk about it, details her personal struggles with loneliness, but it's also an incredible guide on how we can kick loneliness to the curb for the sake of our health and our families. Simone grew up in Australia and has since lived all over the world. In 2013, one phone call changed her life. Her mum had a severe stroke which left her paralysed and Simone dropped everything to be by her side and spent the next six months of her life cleaning her mother's house (her mum has hoarding disorder). Simone was isolated from the outside world and experienced the worst loneliness of her life, which set her on her current path of helping others.  In our chat, we get stuck into the hard stuff... and Simone shares the FIVE types of human connection we all need in our lives.
