Have you heard about the “loneliness epidemic?” So many of us feel lonely these days. We wish we had more deep, meaningful connections with others but we don’t know how to create them.

This is especially true at work. It’s not surprising that loneliness affects people who work from home, but it even affects people who go to work in person. Why do workers feel so lonely and what can be done about it?

Today’s guest Unni Turrettini is an author, speaker, and facilitator helping companies cultivate a sense of belonging in their employees. Once you listen to her advice and insights, you’ll understand the root causes of workplace loneliness. There’s a fascinating connection between self-worth, self-love, and loneliness at work, and Unni explains it in an intriguing, honest, and personal way.
