In this episode of Girls With Opinions, we’re talking about something that can feel peaceful… or deeply uncomfortable: being alone.

We unpack the difference between being alone and feeling lonely, and why so many people struggle to sit with themselves without distraction. From constantly needing plans to filling every quiet moment, we talk about how being alone can bring up more than we expect — and why that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

We also share our honest opinions on independence, relationships, and the pressure to always be surrounded by people. Because while connection is important, so is learning how to enjoy your own company without feeling like something is missing.

As always, this conversation is real, a little reflective, and a reminder that being alone isn’t something to fear — it’s something to understand.
