Episode Summary:  Loneliness is a universal struggle that lowers life expectancy, increases anxiety, and causes a profound longing for what we once had. It wreaks havoc on our physical and emotional well-being because it is the opposite of what we were made for. We were MADE FOR PEOPLE —we were made for relationships. Joining me for his second appearance on the show is author, Justin Whitmel Earley, here to discuss his latest book, Made for People: Why We Drift into Loneliness and How to Fight for a Life of Friendship. In today’s conversation, Justin sheds light on the transformative power of friendship and presents actionable practices for building a life of genuine connection.Who is this episode for? If you find yourself wondering if there is something more for you in your friendships, this is for you!-------------------------------Links Discussed in This EpisodeOrder a Copy of Minimalist Moms: Living and Parenting with SimplicitySubstack: Minimalist Moms PodcastBook: Outlive by Peter AttiaJustin's Resource: The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and BusinessPodcast: Raising Boys and GirlsConnect with Justin:Book: Made for People by Justin Whitmel EarleyWebsitehttps://www.instagram.com/justinwhitmelearley/https://www.facebook.com/justinwhitmelearleyauthor/https://twitter.com/Justin_W_EarleyView the full show notes pageEnjoy this Podcast?Post a review and share it! If you enjoyed tuning into this podcast, then do not hesitate to write a review.
