Hello dear listeners and welcome another episode of the Thrive-Learn-Connect podcast, where we dive into the heart of personal development for your professional life. Today, we're tackling a topic that's been on many of our minds—the loneliness epidemic. We all know how important it is to feel connected, and our special guest, Ann Long, founder of Burbity Workspaces, shares insights on overcoming loneliness and fostering connections in our lives.

Max and Jamie chat about the ways isolation has impacted us, from hurricanes and natural disasters to the divisive nature of politics. They explore how kindness and empathy can bridge gaps, especially during challenging times like elections or personal crises. Ann brings a wealth of knowledge about creating community through co-working spaces and shares heartwarming stories of people finding their place again.

If you've ever felt that pang of loneliness or wondered how to reconnect with the world, this episode is for you. Ann offers practical advice on acknowledging your feelings and stepping out of your comfort zone to make meaningful connections. Remember, it's as simple as ABC—Acknowledge Your Feelings, Be Brave, and Connect.
