Why Burbity Workspaces Is Part of the Solution
Loneliness has become one of the most widespread well-being issues facing Americans today. With more professionals working remotely than ever before, millions are discovering that flexibility often comes with a hidden cost: disconnection. Without the collaboration, small interactions, and shared energy of a traditional office, many remote workers feel isolated and unsupported.
At Burbity Workspaces, we believe nobody should have to work alone. Our focus on community, belonging, and human connection makes coworking a powerful antidote to the loneliness epidemic—not only in the U.S., but right here in Spokane.
Understanding the Loneliness Epidemic
Recent research highlights how widespread and harmful loneliness has become:
- 58% of Americans report feeling lonely in their daily lives.
- 24% of remote workers say loneliness is their biggest challenge.
- Chronic loneliness has the same health risk as smoking 15 cigarettes a day, according to the U.S. Surgeon General.
- Freelancers, solopreneurs, and independent professionals experience some of the highest isolation levels.
- Workplace disconnection reduces productivity, creativity, and collaboration.
As remote work grows, this issue affects not just individuals but also businesses and communities. Coworking spaces are uniquely designed to bridge this gap.
How Coworking Reduces Loneliness
Coworking offers the flexibility of remote work with the human connection people need to feel grounded and supported.
1. Built-In Daily Interaction
Working around others—even without constant conversation—creates a sense of belonging. You can see this in every corner of our coworking spaces where casual conversations and friendly greetings brighten the workday.
2. A Community That Supports You
Members come to coworking not just for workspace, but for connection. Our culture at Burbity is intentionally warm, friendly, and collaborative.
3. Professional Events & Networking
Whether you attend educational workshops or community gatherings at our East Sprague Event Space, these moments naturally spark friendships and professional growth.
4. A Healthy Work–Life Boundary
Leaving your house to work—even a couple days a week—improves focus, mood, and energy. Flexible access options like our Day Passes make this simple and affordable.
5. A Sense of Shared Purpose
Coworking restores the feeling of “we’re in this together,” which helps workers feel anchored and inspired.
