Summary

This episode will begin to get into social isolation, with structural and psychological origins, and the effects on the body and mind. This will be a multi-part series since there's just too much loneliness to fit into one episode and because Aubrey likes to go off on tangents. In this first part a couple questions are asked, so that we may begin to think about how loneliness or less social contact could, potentially, influence our health and our social structures due to covid-19. This first segment looks at some of the previously existing health effects of loneliness (pre-covid) and the theories as to why loneliness is tied to health.

Doctor's Wife, The by Mary Elizabeth Braddon (1835 - 1915) LibriVox This is one of the Victorian “Sensationist” Mary Elizabeth Braddon's many novels (best known among them: “Lady Audley’s Secret”). It is extremely well written, fluid, humorous and, in places, self-mocking: one of the main characters is a Sensation Author. The motifs of the-woman-with-a-secret, adultery, and death are classic “sensationist” material. Yet this is also a self-consciously serious work of literature, taking on various social themes of the day. Specifically, Braddon presents the psychological struggle and cognitive dissonance which are the inevitable plight of the married middle-class woman with a strong sense of self, who is essentially constrained to live the life of her husband. In this, it echoes Flaubert’s “Madame Bovary.”The heroine, Isabel Sleaford, was driven early in her childhood to bury herself in, and develop her sense of self through, romantic novels and poetry. She is thus ill-adapted to the conventional, provincial structures and strictures laid up MasterMinds Podcast Kerwin Webb The MasterMinds Podcast is unique in that it is designed to stimulate the audience's desire to grow, build, and progress.

How have we become so disconnected and how do we find reconnection? Amidst the profound shifts of recent years, The Space Between emerges as an anchor for reconnection in a world experiencing unprecedented change. As perspectives shift, values evolve, and structures crumble, we dive into transformative conversations through major life themes – purpose, partnerships, energy, money, and much more. The intention is to open minds and hearts, fostering connections within ourselves and with others. These conversations serve as a catalyst for self-reflection and meaningful dialogue, inviting you to confront what simmers beneath the surface. The world is in incredible transformation and we know it's always darkest before the dawn. In The Space Between, brighter days await, and the path to a changed world begins by coming home to ourselves.
