In the final episode of the Essentials series, we explore the quiet power of friendship—why it matters more than we think, why so many of us struggle to find it, and how to become the kind of person who attracts deep, meaningful connections. From unrealistic expectations and social media comparison to communication and vulnerability, this episode is a raw, honest reflection on what it really takes to build lasting relationships in a world that often encourages isolation.

In this episode of Essentials, we explore one of the biggest struggles in modern society: the loss of purpose. From the pressures of perfectionism to the myths that make purpose feel like a distant, unrealistic goal, we break down why so many people feel lost—and how to reconnect with a deeper sense of meaning. Simple, honest, and grounded, this episode offers a refreshing take on what purpose really is and how to find it.

In this episode of Reflections, I introduce my new mini-series Essentials, exploring the core habits and lifestyle changes that truly matter for a happy, healthy life. We dive into evolutionary mismatch theory, why modern life makes us sick, and how reconnecting with nature—through diet, movement, and time outdoors—can solve root causes rather than just symptoms.
