🌍 World Health Day 7 April - Together for Health -stand with science
When is the last time you felt truly connected to the people in your life?
It is something to consider, because we can talk a lot about physical health, but the world is slowly becoming aware of what many women have know for years - loneliness is a health crisis.
It's a question worth sitting with. Because while we talk a lot about physical health, the world is slowly waking up to what many women have known for years - loneliness is a health crisis
But there is some goo d news1 The UK appointed a Minister for Loneliness. Japan followed. And Canada has gone a step further, developing national social connection guidelines grounded in public health research — because the evidence is clear: we are wired to connect.
This isn't about being introverted or "not a people person." It's about the deep human need to be known. To walk alongside someone. To belong.
On World Health Day, I'm thinking about the women I sit with — and walk with — who are connecting after loss, change, or simply years of putting everyone else first.
You're not meant to do this alone. 🌏
I'd love to know — what does real connection look like for you right now? Drop a word or a thought below. 👇
