It’s easy to feel isolated when you’re stressed, over-extended, or overwhelmed. But that just might be the time you need your friends and family the most. Next time you feel you’re too busy to connect with others, consider taking just 5 minutes to reach out. A few moments of genuine connection can go a long way to reducing stress and making you feel better. Episode of #HouseCallswithVivekMurthy featuring @SaraBareilles and @celiakb available now wherever you listen to podcasts.
✨We were honored to present an enlightening conversation about friendship, mental health, loneliness and the stigma around seeking help this week at The 92nd Street Y, New York.
✨U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy, Sara Bareilles and Celia Keenan-Bolger sat down for a special live taping of Dr. Murthy’s podcast, House Calls with Dr. Vivek Murthy.
✨Here’s a clip from the night when Sara Bareilles spoke about the importance of human connection. It’s a medicine!

I met @kelliohara on a mountaintop in Utah at the Sundance Theater Lab in 2002. We were working together on a musical by Adam Guettel and Craig Lucas. We were fast friends and expert hikers/yogis. We took care of each other through some early career heartbreak. We remained friends throughout all these years. But then during Covid it was like the time signature of the universe put us in synch so that we could spend time together and connect and go deep. I love her so much. She is the embodiment of grace. Spending that time together was one of the greatest gifts of my pandemic. This year I watched in absolute awe as she performed in another Adam Guettel/ Craig Lucas collaboration and it is something I will NEVER FORGET. I felt lucky to be alive to witness it. It is hands down, one of the great musical theater performances. Ever. When I saw her at the nominees luncheon yesterday @jennyandersonphoto made sure to get a photo of us. Every year I’ve been nominated for a Tony award Kelli has been there with me. What a gift it has been to travel this long and difficult and glorious road with her by my side.
This past week was FULL. 1. Good company. 2. Paula Paula Paula. 3. Family/Nominees(!) 4. MOTHER 5. @elizayerry@matthewmonzon & @itsmatin taking care of me. 6. Obsessed. 7. Opening night present from @realgavincreel that I live in at the theaters. 8. Riverside park with my kiddo. 9. Trader Joe’s Flowums. 10. Have you voted???
Oh my goodness we open MOTHER PLAY tonight. Making a new piece of theater is big work and it’s not always easy. But when you have leaders like @indecent17 and @tinalandau who have endless dedication to rigor AND collaboration something like Magic emerges. I’ve felt so much joy and grief and healing making this play and I think that is because Paula Vogel is not afraid to examine her life and pain through her writing. And in doing that, everyone who comes into contact with her work can’t help but do the same. I’m so grateful to each and every person who midwifed this piece into existence with such grace, humor and dedication to making something good. Please come see us at the Hayes until June 16th!
