I can't remember what it's called, huh?

Hideaway, My Song is the first track.

Hideaway, My Song.

I like that one.

But that was the one that was recorded in Morgan Studios.

Loneliness is the absence of someone or others who care about you.

Loneliness can numb the senses.

In other words, you smell, taste, touch, sight.

possible and for those of you who are lonely now

So that's family, that's colleagues, that's mentors from outside, right? Um, human connection is probably the biggest in my reflection now at this stage of life and career that's probably the biggest game changer next to sleep right like I used to put out order it was fitness it was yeah fitness time in the gym and nutrition and now I say you know I've shifted I've I say human connection and sleep is the two that I would put first.

I'm reading a book called Loneliness and I'll probably do like a book breakdown because Mark loves those on some of the key things because even though, side note, but it ties in with wellness in the industry that we're talking about.

So I see the biggest issues our society is dealing with is loss of purpose, loss of connection and loss of connection.

As first responders, That should be the easy thing, right? Like we all know very clearly the purpose we signed up for and we get to do this thing and interact even as, you know, professional staff alongside police agencies and fire and dispatch.

Welcome back to Culture and Cultures.

Today, we're diving into a topic many PhD students know far too well, loneliness and the search for community.

A PhD can feel incredibly rewarding, but it can also feel isolating sometimes.

In this episode, we want to explore why that is and how we can support ourselves and each other through the journey.

To help us unpack all of this, we have two wonderful guests with us today.

Bodil Øster, a coach who works closely with researchers through workshops and courses, and Sandra Carapeto, a current PhD student who is deeply involved in different associations and communities, such as PANT and UCAPS.

In the first part of today's episode, we'll be talking with Bodil Øster about loneliness, the patterns Bodil sees amongst PhD students, and what tools can help.

Let's begin.

OK。

然后第二个是要可以一个人生活，或是——因为这个是一个非常 loneliness 的一个 journey。

And we'll include those in the show notes.

And Every Table and Altar, Reclaiming Connection in a World of Division, Destruction, and Loneliness is now available wherever you get your books from Zondervan.

Do buy it, read it, read it with community around a table.

So thank you, Ian, for this time.

Hey, Ethan.

Yeah, it's fun that we started with that, Ethan, because couple months ago I actually finished a book called Loneliness.

Um, I have it here, brought it here to show you guys.

So it's called Loneliness: The Power of Human Connection.

Oh, nice.

And it was written by Vivek Murthy, and he is a former surgeon general, [lips smack] uh, who served under Obama and Biden administration.

Loneliness by Katherine Mansfield.

Now it is loneliness who comes at night Instead of sleep, to sit beside my bed.

Like a tired child I lie and wait her tread, I watch her softly blowing out the light.

I am fain To turn to loneliness, to take her hand, Cling to her, waiting till the barren land Fills with the dreadful monotone of rain.

About this poem.

Loneliness was first published in Mansfield's collection Poems, edited posthumously by her husband, John Middleton Murry, who put the book together shortly after her death in January of that year.

Loneliness belongs to the group Murry titled "Poems, 1911-1913" in that volume.

So enjoy this one.

[upbeat music] Happiness and loneliness.

Happiness and loneliness.

Happiness and loneliness.

Happiness and loneliness.

[upbeat music] Happiness and loneliness.

Happiness and loneliness.

And loneliness.
