32. Why I Love "How to Die Alone", Working Through Loneliness, and Taking Risks
How to Die Alone is a new show created by Natasha Rothwell that is now streaming on Hulu (https://www.hulu.com/series/ef1cbb2b-97f8-4f53-aadc-419e4799e87f). It follows Mel on her journey to finding confidence in herself and discovering who she truly wants to be.
It's a great binge watch that is full of lessons for anyone trying to become the highest version of themself. It's also the most recent thing I haven't been able to stop yapping about.
In this episode I talk about:
Understanding and dealing with loneliness
Moving through fear and taking action
Friendship breakups
Why I love this how and lessons learned from watching it
Here is a great article from Very Well Mind that talks about the causes and consequences of loneliness (https://www.verywellmind.com/loneliness-causes-effects-and-treatments-2795749#:~:text=It%20is%20a%20complex%20state%20of%20mind,including%20decreased%20mental%20wellness%20and%20physical%20problems.) by Kendra Cherry, MSEd.
