Hey {NAME},
Be honest: are you wearing cozy pants right now?
Sweats or PJs or something with a little stretch? If so, I wouldn't be shocked.
With more of us working from home — either by design, or because we’re home sick nursing a cold or kids — one of the many upsides of remote work is comfort.
While there are countless other benefits to working from home, there's one consistent challenge I hear over and over again.
"Marie, I'm lonely! The isolation is killing me. How do I get out there and meet new people?"
(Even if you don't work from home — keep reading, because today's topic impacts you too.)
Whether you're a super busy entrepreneur or just feel shy and introverted, social connections and community are crucial to your well-being. Yet many of us fall short in this department and wind up feeling alone more than we'd like to admit.
In fact, social isolation is a growing epidemic.
Since the 1980s, the percentage of American adults who say they're lonely has doubled from 20% to 40%. The physical, mental and emotional consequences are serious. Some research indicates that loneliness might be as much of a health risk as smoking.
But forging new friendships can be hard, especially as an adult. Even more so if you've become more comfortable interacting with people online than 'in real life.'
So what's the fix? What are the exact steps for how to get out there, meet more people and make new friends as an adult — without feeling wildly insecure and awkward?
In this episode, you'll get 3 practical and easy-to-implement strategies to meet new people and make new friends, including a dead simple tactic that practically guarantees people will be interested in you.

Once you've watched, I'd love to hear your perspective on this.
