Are you struggling with being over-connected, on video calls all day, but still feel under-connected, because those don't feel like deep and true friendships?
On today's episode I chat with Kat Vellos about overcoming the challenges of both over and under-connection during the quarantine.
Kat Vellos is a trusted expert on the power of cultivating meaningful connections.
She’s a UX designer, facilitator, and coach. She’s the author of We Should Get Together: The Secret to Cultivating Better Friendships which was called “marvelous” by BookLife and which Kirkus Reviews compared to the work of Norman Vincent Peale and Cicero. Since its release in January 2020, it’s been helping adults around the world heal from disconnection and loneliness. Her follow-up workbook, Connected from Afar, helps adults strengthen existing friendships from a distance.
Kat has twenty years’ experience creating communities where people find belonging and authentic connection. A veteran facilitator, she founded Better than Small Talk and Bay Area Black Designers which was profiled by Forbes. A seasoned researcher, designer and program manager, she’s worked for Slack, Pandora, and multiple corporate and nonprofit organizations. Her current coaching and facilitation work focuses on social and emotional wellness.

Dr. Manuela Powell is a mindset coach whose mission is to help women who have lost themselves after motherhood to have the audacity to create the life they really desire without feeling guilty for wanting more. For over 17 years, Manuela was a cancer surgeon, in Brazil and in the US, at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and New York-Presbyterian Hospital, in New York City. After having her second child at 44, she craved more flexibility, freedom, and time with her family, so she put away her scalpel to, instead, dissect women’s soul and help them excise the “shoulds” and the “I’m-not-good-enoughs” from their minds forever, so they can finally live the life they were meant for.
In March of 2020, as the world shut down because of the coronavirus pandemic, she launched the 6ft Apart show, which she records every weekday live on Facebook, to help people during the quarantine. She interviews other badass coaches, to bring to you actionable and simple tips, tools, and techniques to help you navigate these insane times.
