Life in the Middle with Sharona Patrice
Alone But Not Lonely with Lorena Lopez
What if your happiness didn’t hinge on relationship status? What if fulfillment, freedom, and romance were already yours to create?
I've 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 unapologetically lives a full life, not because she’s waiting for someone to join her, but because she decided she’s enough.
We talk 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 prioritizing her desired life, and why she’s not waiting for a partner to experience romance. This is a love letter to every woman who’s ever felt like her life is on hold waiting for that special someone to show up.
You don’t need permission to be happy. You just need to say yes to yourself.
