Social interactions – whether in-person or virtual – do more for our health, longevity and stress management than most people realize. It may be more important than the way you eat and whether or not you smoke! Get the facts.

As we coordinate care for ourselves or others – especially during uncertain times, stress can be our greatest enemy. John Medina, PhD, affiliate Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Washington School of Medicine, shares key research-backed strategies for powerfully dealing with stress; subject-specific experts give us practical ways to implement these tested methods in our everyday lives.

After we watch a pre-recorded video message from Dr. Medina, our guest specialist, Amy Schmidt, explores often unasked questions about what integrating more socialization into our life might really look like. A sought-after trainer and mentor to professionals seeking to grow their networking skills, Amy's principles have helped many people develop interpersonal skills that help them at home and at work.
