  • Connected: The Power of Relationships in a Disconnected World
    Oct 30 2025

    Relationships shape our lives — who we are, who we become, and how we show up in the world. They can lift us up, push us forward, and help us heal… or, if we lack them, leave us feeling isolated, anxious, and disconnected.

    In this episode of The Risers Hub Podcast, we dive deep into the powerful connection between healthy relationships and our overall well-being. Research shows that strong relationships can:

    ✅ Improve mental and physical health
    ✅ Reduce stress
    ✅ Create a safe space to be fully ourselves

    Yet today, we’re facing something serious: the Loneliness Epidemic. People are more “connected” than ever online, but more alone than ever in real life. Loneliness isn’t just painful — it’s dangerous. It's affecting our emotional health, our bodies, and even shortening lives.

    To explore all of this, I’m joined by my good friend Grace C. Mickel, a licensed marriage and family therapist specializing in EMDR. Together, we talk about:

    ✨ Why relationships are essential to our health
    ✨ How loneliness impacts our minds and bodies
    ✨ Whether it’s too late to build meaningful relationships
    ✨ Where to start if you’re craving deeper connection

    This episode is honest, vulnerable, and filled with practical insight. If you’ve been longing for healthier relationships — or wondering how to create them — this conversation is for you.

    Press play. It’s time to reconnect. 💛
