In this short, contemplative episode, Laura reflects on the deep human longing for community — and the uncomfortable truth that many of us say we want connection while unconsciously resisting it.

From a quiet café in Thailand, she traces her own spiralling thoughts about journalling, isolation, motherhood, and the tools we use to regulate ourselves when community is absent.

She questions how modern life, remote work, and hyper-independence have reshaped our ability to co-regulate, to make eye contact, to be with one another in real time.

Through honest self-inquiry, Laura explores why so many mothers feel lonely while simultaneously avoiding the very spaces where connection is possible.

This episode is an invitation to observe your own patterns with tenderness:
- Where do you crave community?

- Where do you resist it?

- And what would it mean to choose connection over convenience?
