Julianne Holt-Lunstad Joins Me to Discuss How to Navigate Isolation, Loneliness, and its Impact on Health

In the podcast, Julianne Holt-Lunstad distinguishes between isolation and loneliness by emphasizing the distinction between objective physical separation and subjective emotional experiences. She points out that a person might be physically isolated but not feel lonely, or vice versa.
