Ep. 110: The Value and Void of Human Connection with Dr. Julie Holland

There’s a shift happening in the world around us. Growing up in the 90’s, creating your own fun was often the only option for staying sane. You would ride your bike until it was dark out, hold front yard fairs, or play Monopoly at the kitchen table. Duck Hunt and MTV never came at the expense of IRL connection. But all of that is changing. Many of us have had to mourn the memories of the best moments of our life, only to end up recognizing that those things aren’t gone. They can both live together if we so choose. To talk about how social media and technology do not have to be the death of human interaction, but instead can be a way to give us even more avenues to connect, is Dr. Julie Holland. She believes that now, more than ever before, communities are suffering from disconnection—and this started long before social distancing. In her paradigm-shifting book “Good Chemistry,” she reveals how we can turn on and tune into the brain chemistry that fosters connection and tamp down the fight-or-flight mode that derails sleep, metabolism, libido, and more. Listening to her commentary, you may find the courage to ask yourself some hard questions about what your life is about and what you want to feel.
