Let's face it. This time of year can bring up a lot—joy, grief, stress, loneliness, or all of it at once. If you’re listening today, and things feel heavy, you don’t have to carry it alone.

If tonight feels quiet, complicated, or lonely, please know you are not invisible.

This time of year, it is not unusual to be socially disconnected, even when we are in a room of people at that loud and crowded holiday party.


I am sharing a report that just might resonate with you from the Social Connection in America sharing findings from their 2025 survey.

The survey was led by Dr. Julianne Holt-Lunstad and a team sponsored by the Barnes Family Foundation. The Social Connection in AmericaTM survey project prioritizes transparency, scientific integrity, and public benefit.


Genz and Millenials tuning in today or reading this report, your feelings are real. Read more about what the report revealed about loneliness in America:
