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.

Resources Mentioned:

  • Episode 220: Let's Talk About Loneliness - last week’s episode - go back and give it a listen!
  • Together by Dr. Vivek Murthy

If you found this episode helpful, I’d love for you to share it with a friend—maybe it’ll spark a conversation about breaking the cycle of isolation and loneliness.
