69: Loneliness Can be Sacred

When the house is quiet and the calendar emptier than it's ever been, loneliness can feel like a fog that won't lift. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal experience with that soul-deep ache—especially after sending off my youngest missionary and transitioning out of full-time motherhood.

We’re not talking about the kind of loneliness that a girls’ night can fix. We're talking about the kind that sneaks in during dinner-for-one, lingers in the silence, and makes you question your worth and purpose.

Here’s what we dive into:

• The difference between being alone and feeling unseen
• How loneliness is often grief in disguise
• Why naming the emotion is the first step to softening it
• How to stay onto your brain when it feeds you victim-y thoughts
• Tiny, meaningful ways to reconnect—with yourself, with God, and with others

I also share a story about fear, surgery, and a wise yoga teacher that helped me shift how I move through hard emotions. If you’re in a season of quiet, emptiness, or transition, this episode is here to remind you: you are not broken, you're not behind, and you're not alone.
