In this 26-minute Walk & Talk, Lacy talks to Megan Humphrey, a mental health counselor with the Texas Department of Public Safety, while Megan walks along a trail near her Austin home. Megan de-codes loneliness as a biological hunger to connect with each other, what it means to have meaningful connections, how social media fails us in this department. She also shares her strategies for recognizing thoughts and sensations around loneliness, and surprising things we can do to create feelings of meaningful connection and boost brain health, like… bilateral stimulation (activated by walking!).
