The Practice of Being Human

The Nonchalance Epidemic


Listen Later

After a client asked me to watch Love Island (yes, really), I started noticing something deeper beneath the surface: an epidemic of nonchalance — a cultural pull toward aloofness, detachment, and performative indifference, especially in dating and relationships.

In this episode, I unpack what this “nonchalance epidemic” is really about, why it’s showing up so strongly right now, and how it affects our ability to connect — with ourselves and others. I also share ways we can move beyond it, grow more secure in ourselves, and build real, present, meaningful relationships that aren’t driven by fear or self-protection.
