Collective Wellness

CW: This podcast may contain discussions of mental health that may be sensitive to some listeners. This week, Sarah and Micheline explore the concept of wellness through a collective lens, emphasizing the importance of community and relationships in achieving overall well-being. We particularly compare this to the more individualized approaches that go viral on social media. We also highlight the importance of community support and peer networks and emphasize the need for education, empowerment, and safety nets outside traditional institutions. Finally, we touch on the role of storytelling in healing and share some ideas or practices we can all pursue to improve our collective wellness! The Yale piece that we reference can be found here For more on eudaemonia as Sarah mentioned, check out Andrew Soren’s work
