What if loneliness didn’t mean something was wrong—but was actually an invitation to deeper connection?

In this two-part podcast collaboration, I sit down with Megan Waldrep, host of Partners of Commercial Fishermen, to have a raw, real, and uplifting conversation about the many forms of loneliness—what causes it, how it sneaks up on us, and how to move through it with grace and self-leadership.

Whether you're single, partnered, parenting, or building a business… you’ve likely faced moments of loneliness. And in this episode, we’re not here to fix it—we’re here to normalize it and offer you practices to shift into fulfillment, even when you're physically alone.

Inside Part 1:

• The surprising ways loneliness shows up in high-achieving women

• How we each recognized and navigated our own waves of loneliness

• Tangible practices that helped us reconnect to ourselves and others

• The truth about emotional Band-Aids (and what actually works instead)

• Why feeling your feelings fully is the fastest path to healing

This conversation is an invitation to soften, reconnect, and remember that you’re not alone.
