Love, Sweet Love Inspiring examples of why love IS what the world needs now – and how our health and wellbeing depend on it
Inspiring conversations with folks – from kids to seniors, from authors to artists, from researchers to doctors, from teachers to school districts -- who are intentionally creating awareness and knowledge, through projects, programs and even systems, to foster care, love, compassion, and joy in this world, so that we can be healthier, happier, and more fulfilled.
Gayle Beavil, passionate educator, speaker, facilitator, and decades-long seeker of what it takes to thrive, speaks with these folks to find out why they do what they do, how they are doing it, and what they say are the vital connections to our health and happiness.
Join Gayle for informative and inspiring stories and interviews, as she celebrates the good around us, and uncovers what we need, to have a healthier, more loving, society. Gayle knows that what we shine light on, grows, and she thinks that shining light on relationships, care, community, and all the aspects of “love, sweet love” (as Bacharach and David wrote over 50 years ago), is indeed, “what the world needs now”. This is “Love, Sweet Love”.

Ep - 36 A Grave Misconception: I Don’t Need You (How Social Health Can Safe Our Lives) with Gayle Beavil
Social health is becoming a widely talked about segment of our lives! It has been for years but the attention it is getting right now is finally doing it justice!
This episode is just me. It is me sharing with you some of the thoughts I have, and have written about, regarding our connections, regarding loneliness, regarding our responsibility to ourselves and our kids, to figure this out, and fast.
Today’s episode has two main parts. The first part is about a dangerous misconception we have and how that manifests. I will talk about why this is happening, and why we absolutely DO need each other. I’ll focus on one of the simplest, accessible, impactful ways we can nurture these connections and our social health – our HEALTH, period – and that is through our connections with our neighbours and actions we can take in our neighbourhoods.
The second part is looking at friendship and loneliness. It is about what loneliness is and isn’t, why we, and our KIDS are feeling lonely, and what is our part in that reality. I talk about what can be done. where free play fits into loneliness for our kids (and even us), how our technologically-saturated lives are affecting our ability to thrive, and why now is the time to do something about this.
I think you will find this episode informative, maybe a bit sobering, and also inspiring. It is not too late. We can do this, We can do this together, for our and our kids’ sakes.
I’d love it if you took a moment to rate and review the podcast, and even share it with just one friend who may need to hear this message, or is, like you and I, passionate about getting us, and our loved ones, back to feeling well and healthy and connected.
So, sit back with a glass or cup of something good, or get your walking shoes and earbuds on, and enjoy. We’ve got this.
Let’s grow some good together.
