Batman & Robin: The Importance of Relationship
Jordan and Bethany chat through the importance of social connection and relationship. Per the American College of Lifestyle Medicine: “Social connections and relationships affect our physical, mental and emotional health. Research shows that the single most important predictor of human happiness and long life is having strong social connections. Health-related measures like blood pressure and heart rate improve even with short positive social interactions.”

So, has the time come for us to accept this - whatever this is - and begin to live - even thrive - in our new world? Join Jordan and Bethany for a real and raw discussion on acceptance.
