In today’s episode, Kelley and Casey wanted to talk about connection since we’re so close to Valentine’s Day. So we decided to talk about what every person needs in their lives, whether you’re in a relationship or not – friendship!! Having a place to belong and people to connect with are crucial to our health, well-being, and growth as individuals. We can’t go it alone. We explore the staggering statistics behind depression, suicide, and being “together but apart” in our technology driven society. It can be a lonely world, but it doesn’t have to be. We explore a few easy ways to foster connection and grow friendships (new or old) in our lives. Having friends by our side is what makes life so meaningful and worthwhile, so let’s cultivate friendships together for a more purposeful life lived together!    //Time Stamps// 00:00:  Welcome 00:25:  What Casey is loving 03:43:  What Kelley is loving  04:55:  Digging into the meat of the episode 05:38:  Together but apart 07:25:  Epidemic of loneliness  08:02:  Belonging is a basic human need!  11:31:  We know making & keeping friends can be hard  12:30:  4 easy, low energy ways to build connection & grow friendships 23:28:  Closing thoughts      // Resources Mentioned in this Episode // – <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Try-Softer-Approach-Mode-Connection/dp/1496439651/ref=asc_df_1496439651/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=560440526833&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=13633377309714050520&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9013458&hvtargid=pla-870323711187&psc=1&mcid=569370edb528343da96cc90c32df991a&gclid=CjwKCAiAq4KuBhA6EiwArMAw1OyFn19L_PjegmyZsxZyUO8L4vuyLffBNp_HiQtTATaXoUaA6oik7BoCN2oQAvD_BwE"> Try Softer by Aundi Kolber</a> – <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0143127748/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1BS9OHDJYQY6A&keywords=the+body+keeps+the+score&qid=1707168570&s=books&sprefix=the+body+keeps+the+%2Cstripbooks%2C81&sr=1-1"> The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk M.D. </a> – <a href= "https://www.etsy.com/listing/1390567583/hand-lettering-workbook-lettering-combos?gpla=1&gao=1&&utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=shopping_us_-art_and_collectibles&utm_custom1=_k_CjwKCAiAq4KuBhA6EiwArMAw1IvUt9LB9TDEk9KGiIANz-DgcC735-up90rSxDBOXg7QK2g4tpyZiBoCCEkQAvD_BwE_k_&utm_content=go_12665398257_121762925993_511610210343_pla-314954651933_c__1390567583_144722946&utm_custom2=12665398257&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAiAq4KuBhA6EiwArMAw1IvUt9LB9TDEk9KGiIANz-DgcC735-up90rSxDBOXg7QK2g4tpyZiBoCCEkQAvD_BwE"> Hand Lettering Worksheets from Etsy</a> – <a href= "https://www.amazon.com/How-Win-Friends-Influence-People/dp/0671027034/ref=sr_1_1?crid=P4BA7KJ97FT1&keywords=how+to+win+friends+and+influence+people&qid=1707169909&s=books&sprefix=how+to+win+friends+and+influence+people%2Cstripbooks%2C83&sr=1-1"> How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie </a> – <a href= "https://emformarvelous.com/how-to-host-a-book-swap/">How to Host a Book Swap</a>   // Connect with Us // — Subscribe to the Cultivate What Matters Podcast: on iOS, go to our iTunes page and click subscribe.
