#22 - Monika Jiang - Sharing our Loneliness and Creating Spaces for Authentic Connection

Rediscovering Connection with Shelley Doyle

Welcome to Rediscovering Connection!
Have you ever found yourself in a room full of people and yet felt utterly alone? In this episode, I speak to Monika Jiang, a writer, facilitator, and community builder, who joins me in a heart-to-heart on the silent epidemic of modern loneliness and our hunger for authentic connection.
We strip away the facade of social media's promised connectivity, and the importance of creating spaces, on-and-offline, to share stories about our human experience.
Join us for a soulful exploration as we journey towards understanding loneliness and embracing the growth that comes with genuine connection - with ourselves and others.
