In this episode of The Fuck It Shift, Adam Ross explores why learning to be alone is one of the hardest—and most necessary—parts of rebuilding your life. Solitude can teach you self-trust, independence, and clarity. But stay in it too long, and it becomes isolation, self-protection, and a barrier to connection.

Adam shares how shutting out distraction helped him grow after hitting rock bottom, and why falling in love with being alone can quietly turn into avoiding people, relationships, and accountability. The key isn’t to avoid loneliness—it’s to use that time to work on yourself instead of numbing, hiding, or feeding negative narratives.

If you're navigating heartbreak, rebuilding, or finding yourself again, this episode breaks down how to use solitude to grow—and how to know when it’s holding you back.
