Esther Perel is one of the leading speakers in psychology today, and has groundbreaking advice for couples, individuals, and people alike. She constantly reminds the world that "it takes a village."

It's easy to find yourself amongst friends or people and have the insatiable urge to just check your phone, or even scroll. Sometimes it feels like "alone time," or like you're giving to yourself.
