Allison Gilbert on Making Connections

Su questo episodio

It can feel difficult to make new connections in midlife, and perhaps you feel you don’t need to? Maybe making new friends is something you had written off for this stage of life? This week Emmy Award-winning journalist <a href="https://www.allisongilbert.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Allison Gilbert </a>talks to Gabby about the health importance of making new connections at any age and stage. Allison shares what she learned from teaming up with the late great Dr. Ruth to write <a href="https://www.waterstones.com/book/the-joy-of-connections/dr-ruth-k-westheimer/allison-gilbert/9781915590534" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><em>The Joy of Connections</em></a><em>, </em>and offers advice on creating opportunities to make new friendships as well as tips to strengthen existing relationships. She stresses why effort and ownership is key; the benefits of quality over quantity; and why meaningful connections are even more important in the age of social media. <hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
