Loneliness is a growing public health crisis. In our latest episode, host Ebrima “Abraham” Sisay sits down with therapist and Tenfold Counseling founder Crystal Rodenbaugh to explore the quiet epidemic of social disconnection in America.
Drawing from the U.S. Surgeon General’s Advisory on Social Connection, the conversation digs into how loneliness is impacting our health, our relationships, and our ability to thrive, especially among young people.
From awkward Gen Z encounters to the alarming physical effects of isolation (comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes a day), this episode unpacks why so many people feel alone in an age of constant digital contact and what we can do to reconnect.
Whether you’re personally feeling isolated, trying to help someone you love, or simply craving more meaningful connection, this episode offers both insight and hope.
