Ep47. diversify your social microbiome
from Pillow Talk Radio with Cora Boyd Hosted by Cora Boyd
In this episode, we're diversifying our social microbiome. We're talking about why your social life deserves to be one of your top priorities — not just for dating, but for your friendships, your family, your career, your whole existence. We introduce some new lexicon (get ready for "social sauerkraut" and "social solar systems"), and we break down why people take you places, why the best way to meet people is through people, and why leaning too hard on your partner to meet every social and emotional need will backfire. We get nuanced about the difference between having healthy boundaries and becoming a social germaphobe, and we make the case for tolerating a little dissonance in your social sphere because that's genuinely good bacteria. We also take a journey through my own social evolution — from misidentifying as an extrovert throughout my 20s, to the social overextension that fed into a full-blown burnout, to the contraction and reclusing that followed, to where I'm at now: back out on the scene with a sense of healthy limits this time. It's a stream-of-consciousness one, and I hope you enjoy floating through it with me. Want to go deeper? Social Sphere, my full nine-module course on expanding and enriching your adult social life, lives inside both Magnetics Love School and Turned On. Enrollment is open July 20–27, but you can join the waitlist now: Magnetics Love School waitlist / Turned On waitlist.
