Life in the Middle with Sharona Patrice
Alone But Not Lonely with Lorena Lopez
What if happiness didn’t hinge on a relationship status? What if joy, freedom, and romance were already yours to create? I invited one of my closest friends, Lorena Lopez, to have the kind of honest, soul-stirring conversation we usually save for long phone calls and voice notes. She’s someone who lives life fully, not because she’s waiting for someone to join her, but because she decided she’s enough.
We talked about choosing yourself, redefining luxury, and the quiet confidence that comes from knowing who you are. Lorena shares how solo travel became a mirror for her healing, how she stopped apologizing for her joy, and why she’s not waiting for a partner to live the life she wants. This is a love letter to every woman who’s ever felt like her life is on hold until someone else shows up. You don’t need permission to be happy. You just need to say yes to yourself.
