Hi, everybody, and thank you for joining me on the Oprah Podcast. It was just about a year ago when the Sesame Street character Elmo posted a question on social media. In just nine words, he unleashed a flood of feelings for millions of people. He wrote, Elmo is just checking in. How's everybody doing? Well, that post was viewed over 220 million times.
And I remember thinking, wow, Elmo has revealed for us that a lot of people are not okay. Today, we're talking about a challenging human emotion, loneliness. Welcome, welcome, welcome. I'm joined by U.S. Surgeon General, Dr. Vivek Murthy.
There's something else that's going on, something deeper that's actually breaking our spirits.
As we face this new year, let's tap into this undercurrent of loneliness that many people are feeling. New Year's Eve is one of those holidays that I personally dread because people are in couples.
You see a lot of people who look like they're busy, who look like they're out with their friends and have all these plans. So when I'm scrolling and seeing that, it really doesn't help.
