Social connectivity is directly linked to longevity. The blue zones are areas in the world with the longest living people and these zones have been shown to have one thing in common – community spirit, belonging and connectedness. * * * * * In this episode I explore the nature of societal definitions of masculinity & femininity with founder of Nobul Men, Simon Wisdom. We discuss what these definitions mean to our closest relationship, the one with ourselves. * * * * * As always we give you three actions to take away from the episode which are: 1. Focus on your personal brand & know what your personal values & boundaries are. 2. Recognise the ability to ‘dance’ with each other. Our energies are constantly changing & recognising that in our relationships will make those relationships more fulfilling. 3. Attraction is always in ‘flow’ - there is no right or wrong answer & intimacy is a constance dance as we try to understand each others needs in a relationship. * * * * * Find Out More/Contact/Follow: You can find out more about Simon & his work at https://nobul-men.newzenler.com Or get in touch at [email protected] You can discover more & connect with Dr. Alka at the links below: Newsletter: https://dralkapatel.com/mailinglist Website: https://dralkapatel.com/ Socials: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dralkapat... https://www.facebook.com/dralkapateluk https://www.instagram.com/dralkapateluk https://twitter.com/dralkapateluk * * * * * DISCLAIMER: This content does not constitute or substitute personal one-to-one professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
