Supercharge your social wellbeing.
Do you feel lonely, disconnected or lacking in purpose?
The science is clear. Meaningful connection is really good for you - so good, in fact, that it can help you live a longer, happier life.
Loneliness, on the other hand, is very bad for you. Profound or prolonged loneliness can adversely affect your career and relationships, as well as your physical and emotional health.
However, beyond the terrible effects that loneliness can have, and the stigma that surrounds it, there lies one comforting truth:
We actually couldn't feel lonely if we didn't have a truly amazing capacity for love and connection.
Loneliness is the gap between the level of connection we want, and the level of connection we currently have.
Feelings of loneliness are not a fault or a failing - they're simply a signal that something needs to change.
Community supports, government and business leaders all have their part to play in halting the loneliness epidemic, but that doesn't mean we're powerless as individuals.
Connection is in your DNA, and you already have many of the tools you need to build a less lonely life.
In fact, you probably have a unique combination of under-utilized social strengths, which you can develop to enjoy better social wellbeing. Why not start today?
Combine soul-searching, science and strategy to unlock your social potential.
Enjoy better social wellbeing and increase your chances of living a longer, happier, healthier life.
About me
Kia ora! I'm Angela - daughter, sister, aunty, friend and certified life coach living in Auckland, New Zealand.
I enjoy music, rugby league, stand-up comedy, and spending time with friends and family.
I lead a simple but superb life, filled with purpose and wonderful people. For this, I'm very grateful.
Things haven't always been so good. For this, I'm also grateful.
Without a many-times-broken-and-mended heart, I wouldn't be who I am today. My own lived experiences of conquering loneliness and anxiety help inform my practice, alongside studies in psychology, wellbeing, leadership, and a range of coaching modalities.
My approach involves working with each client to examine their unique goals and circumstances, then creating a bespoke, strengths-based strategy to optimize their social wellness.
