Community, connection, and the joy of comfortable silence

In this episode, I reflect on what connection really means - especially as someone who’s introverted and sober. From the discomfort of small talk to the beauty of honest, quiet moments, I explore how we can build nourishing community in ways that actually work for us. I also look at how small acts of local connection might be more powerful than we realise, especially in a world that often feels overwhelming. Whether it’s a WhatsApp group, an ERG, or simply sharing your story first - connection doesn’t have to be loud to matter.   Dog Walk Thoughts. Join me, Clare E Kenny, as I take a stroll with my four dogs and dive into everything workplace culture, mental health and wellbeing. From navigating leadership, culture and wellbeing at work and sharing my journey with a recent ADHD diagnosis, to exploring practical tools and tips to elevate your own wellbeing – I’ll bring you along for the walk and the real talk. Let’s chat, learn, and grow together, all while enjoying some fresh air and furry company!
