Last week was about the gifts of solo travel. 

This week, we're looking at the other side - the loneliness that can quietly take hold after divorce (even before you leave a relationship or marriage), and what it actually looks like to move through it and out the other side.

We also talk about saying "I'm fine" for so long that you even start to believe it... when you're not.

And the flip side: what a life built entirely on your own terms can genuinely look and feel like - and what it actually takes to get there.

In this episode:

  • The 'who would do that for me?' question and why it matters
  • Why high-functioning, capable women are often the loneliest
  • The loneliness of being surrounded by people who knew the old you
  • Small steps to start moving yourself through it
  • Reminder: the happily solo life is real and what it takes to get there
