Ep. 84 The Loneliness Epidemic — how to twenty-something

Despite living in a world designed for connection, many of us feel more isolated than we ever imagined, especially during a decade full of transitions. In this episode, I share my personal experiences with loneliness, from friendship breakups to navigating life in a new city, and explore how these feelings often stem from a lack of meaningful connections. Together, we’ll identify the signs of loneliness, unpack why it happens, and most importantly, discover actionable steps to build a supportive community. If you’ve been struggling with feelings of isolation, this episode will remind you that while loneliness is a tough reality, it’s a temporary one—and you have the power to break the cycle.
