Welcome to the age of digital connection and emotional disconnection.

In this episode of Purpose, we explore the loneliness of the connected — a deep, funny, science-backed look at how we became the most “plugged-in” generation in history and yet somehow the most alone.

You’ll laugh, you’ll nod, and maybe you’ll even text someone you actually miss.

From neuroscience to nostalgia, from dopamine to DMs, this episode reminds us that true connection doesn’t come from Wi-Fi — it comes from presence.

Because validation isn’t intimacy.

And attention isn’t love.

And maybe, just maybe, the next viral trend should be… eye contact.
