  • Episode 95 - Remedies for Loneliness
    Most people feel lonely at one time or another. Let's talk about it.
     
    " Loneliness does not come from having no people around you, but from being unable to communicate the things that seem important to you. Loneliness is rarely about empty rooms. It is about carrying words you cannot say and truths you do not feel safe to share. Healing is learning to speak what matters most so you are no longer alone with it. This is the work of letting yourself be seen and known for who you really are." Carl Jung
