Nuance Needed

65. Loneliness & The Myth of "I'll be Happy When"


Listen Later

Tired of waiting for the "right" circumstances to start living your life? In this episode, we're diving into the difference between being alone and being lonely—and why your solo season might be exactly what you need.

In conversation, we tackle:

Why getting married or finding a partner won't cure your loneliness (sorry!)

The three levels of loneliness and why you need all of them fulfilled

How to tell if you're avoiding your life or actually living it

Why "am I taking advantage of my life right now?" is the question that changes everything

The empowering truth about doing things alone (yes, even travel and concerts)

How to build trust with yourself for whatever life throws at you

Why your current season—even if it feels lonely—still has meaning and purpose

The difference between making decisions from scarcity vs. self-awareness

How routine and showing up for yourself can fill the void better than waiting for external validation
