## Resource

We often hear that it takes a village to raise a child. I think it also takes a village to keep an adult healthy. Many of us have quietly come to expect one person to meet nearly all of our social, emotional, intellectual, and recreational needs. It's a burden no relationship was ever designed to carry. In this episode, I explore what a healthy relational ecosystem actually looks like, why connection remains one of the strongest predictors of long term health, and how building a broader support network strengthens the relationships we value most. A healthy life is rarely built alone. Neither is a healthy future. Want to keep going?
