16 Loneliness (Isolation Station) | Things I Wish I’d Known with Rachael Welford

With loneliness shown to increase our risk of dying early by nearly 45%, now seemed like a really good time to share my thoughts on loneliness during lockdown. I discuss the differences I have felt from living with 18 people to now being isolated in my flat alone. Why we may get lonely and what we can do to combat it.

ABOUT THE SHOW

Isolation Station is an offshoot of the Things I Wish I’d Known (TIWIK) podcast. During lockdown, Rachael has been isolated in her flat by her self, so as a passionate podcaster, she thought the best way to cope was to build a kid-style camp from a massage bed and her quilt (read: audio soundproofed booth) and to create a podcast to bring a little bit of wisdom to these times and continue the TIWIK mission of sharing wisdom on how to master your mental health and fall back in love with yourself!
