Episode 58: Teach Me How To Be Alone But Not Lonely



Humans are social animals – we thrive off connection – and after two years of almost constant isolation and working from home, people are feeling lonelier than ever. But being alone and being lonely are two very different things, and we’re here to tell you that getting comfortable spending time on your own can be the ultimate game-changer for your health, happiness and relationships.

It’s all about reframing our idea of being alone. After all, personal time is a luxury in our busy lives, and making space to relax, reflect or get creative in solitude has amazing positive outcomes. Even if you thrive off social connection (we see you, extroverts!), finding fulfillment on your own is essential. So, this week we’re exploring how to combat loneliness and enjoy being alone! 

Tune in as we chat about:

  • Why people are feeling lonelier than ever

  • How alone time can help you learn about yourself

  • The importance of finding personal hobbies

  • The real reason those “mental health walks” do wonders

  • The power of microconnections and how to make them

  • Ways to be part of a community

  • Redefining your narrative and shifting your mindset

  • The mental health benefits of giving back

  • How to increase your productivity during alone time

We hope this episode helps you feel a little less lonely and embrace the beauty of time with yourself!
