In this episode, we're diving into the tender experience of loneliness — and how it hits differently when you’ve lived through trauma. We'll explore how loneliness isn't just about being alone, but about feeling disconnected, unseen, and unmet.

We’ll unpack how trauma can shape our experience of loneliness, how it can live in the body, and why connection can feel both deeply needed and deeply threatening. I also share grounded, practical ways to begin reconnecting — starting with yourself and slowly building outward.

If loneliness is something you struggle with (or avoid thinking about) – this one’s for you!
