We’re diving deep into a conversation so many of us are aching for: real community. In this episode, we talk about the epidemic of loneliness, the cultural shifts that got us here, and why so many of us are disconnected even in a world that’s always “online.”

We unpack the generational breakdown of support, how social media gives us false intimacy, and why so many friendships now feel transactional. We also share personal stories about showing up imperfectly, the fear of not having “enough to offer,” and what it really means to build lasting connection.

Whether you’re feeling isolated, misunderstood, or just craving real conversation you have a seat at our table.
