Ep. 84 The Loneliness Epidemic


Listen Later

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.

Key Takeaways:

  • Identify the signs of your loneliness: is it coming from community or experiences?
  • The difference between having a social life and having meaningful connections
  • Loneliness is the most common experience for people to have (especially in your twenties)
  • The cure to loneliness is doing the opposite of what you want to do: leave your room and take action
  • Loneliness is temporary and not an endless cycle
  • Discuss where you feel all alone in your life with a close friend, family member, coach, or therapist
