395: How To Be Alone: Turning Loneliness...

Transformational Teacher and National Best-Selling Author
About this episode

"If you cannot sit with yourself, the world cannot give you peace."  

What if being alone wasn't something to fear,  but a sacred invitation to return home to yourself?

In today's episode of Soul Talk, I speak on a topic that most of us avoid: solitude. But I'm not talking about isolation. I'm talking about the kind of aloneness that strips away the noise, dissolves false identities, and brings you face-to-face with your soul.

We live in a world addicted to distraction. We're constantly running, scrolling, chasing, searching. But what if everything you're looking for is found in the silence you're avoiding?

This episode is an invitation to shift your perspective. To stop resisting the quiet. To stop running from yourself.
Because the truth is: when you can be fully with yourself, you become free.

Whether you're navigating a breakup, in a season of uncertainty, or simply craving deeper connection, this is for you. Solitude isn't a punishment. It's preparation. And when you embrace it, your life will transform from the inside out.
