Epidemic of Loneliness
Never have we been more connected - and never have we felt so alone. How can we be surrounded by people, yet feel so isolated? The seemingly infinite digital connections in our lives can never replace the feeling of belonging and community. There is an unmistakable hunger for connection outside of our screens; a hunger to feel like we are part of something greater. Whether it's feeling alone and unheard in our own homes, the grief that comes with loss of family and community due to life changes, or the just feeling disconnected and moving through life without a tribe, Mel and Jase talk about the importance and health benefits of community and belonging - as well as some hope and ways we might address this daunting trend in our culture.

Climbing Everest
What is your Everest? In this episode, Dr. Mel and Jase discuss goal setting to reach your highest potential - from intrinsic motivation to methods to increase your chances of success. Jase walks through elements of his PATHFINDER program and finding your Everest - because you don't climb Everest without preparation or plan, you can't climb Everest in a day, and you're far more likely to reach the summit when you climb with a supporting team.
