    EP 52: Convenience Is Depleting Our Community (And What We Can Do About It)

    In this solo episode, Simone explores the tension between solitude and connection in our increasingly individualised world. Drawing inspiration from Floating Home: Lessons From a Life Less Ordinary and articles by Derek Thompson and Maybelle Morgan, she speaks on how modern life subtly encourages isolation and prioritising “boundaries” over meaningful social interaction.Simone discusses when aloneness is good for us, such as solo travel and self-discovery, and when it starts to work against our nervous system and emotional well-being. She talks about how capitalism profits from our isolation and why it is time to see building community not as a luxury but as a life necessity.This episode challenges the belief that independence equals strength or that needing others makes us weak. Simone explores how we can show up for each other with honesty, without over-functioning or self-sacrificing, and how to view connection as something grounding and healing.Because at the end of the day, we do not thrive in isolation. We thrive in community.Books and articles on this topic:- The Serviceberry by Robin Wall Kimmerer- Let’s Talk About Loneliness: The Search for Connection in a Lonely World by Simone Heng- Floating Home: Lessons From a Life Less Ordinary by Adam Lind Is Inconvenience the Cost of Community? by Maybelle Morgan, Dazed DigitalThe Anti-Social Century by Derek Thompson, The AtlanticFollow @theseedlingpodcast, @simone.edmunds & @mia.kruger on Instagram and TikTok for more reflections on self-growth, connection, and healing.New episodes on Sundays.Enquiries - [email protected] and love,Simone and Mia <3
