In this episode, I’m diving into the connection between grief and loneliness, picking up where we left off last week. I share a bit about my experience with Levi and how loneliness often shows up for us as special needs moms. The good news? The antidote to loneliness is connection.

I also reference Dr. Vivek Murthy's book Together (an excellent read!) and talk about how loneliness can be as damaging as smoking or obesity. In this episode, I share how we can break the cycle of loneliness by:

• Questioning those disempowering beliefs like “No one understands me.”
• Joining communities like my Pathway to Peace coaching program.
• Allowing ourselves to be vulnerable and build connections, even through pain.

Next week, I’ll be doing an interview episode, and I’ll dive deeper into the topic of grief itself.
