28: Finding Fulfilment

This episode of the Coffee with Fleur podcast finds us in a contemplative mood as we take stock of all the change and disruption occurring around us in the world. It seems each time we turn on the news or open the internet we’re bombarded with negative stories about the latest political upheaval or conflict. This cumulative load can eventually influence our mental health and wellbeing, as we try and balance our daily lives along with taking in everything else that’s going on. We’re also encouraged to ‘bring our whole selves to work’. What that means is that when we do, we’re likely to arrive bringing a lot of baggage with us. So how can we find fulfilment in an increasingly unbalanced world? In Jan 2025, Dr. Vivek Hallegere Murthy, the former US Surgeon General wrote ‘My Parting Prescription for America’, an exploration of how we all, no matter where we live, build community to support us through turbulent times. We discuss how relationships, service and purpose are all embedded in the core virtue of love and how building our community and connections can increase our mental, physical resilience and life satisfaction.
