reality and isolation

In this episode, we explore the haunting parallels between The Bell Jar and our own lived experiences of reality, identity, and isolation. Sylvia Plath’s The Bell Jar becomes more than a symbol of depression…it becomes a mirror for the moments when we feel cut off from ourselves, unsure of who we are, and disconnected from the world we’re supposed to belong to.

We talk about the quiet ways isolation creeps in, how identity fractures under pressure, and what it means to question reality when your inner world doesn’t match the outer one. This is a conversation about naming what feels unspeakable, recognizing the jars we’re trapped in, and gently asking: what might it look like to lift the glass, even just an inch?
