This episode is Part 2: From Loneliness to Fulfillment (even when you’re alone) with Brenda Winkle. I invite you to catch Part 1 on Brenda’s podcast called Your Yes-Filled Life!

In this raw and heartfelt episode, Brenda and I share personal stories of loneliness and anxiety and what it means to build a life of connection and meaning.

From my cross-country drive toward a sober life in California to Brenda’s empty-nest revelation that shook her to the core, we explore how loneliness can hit us even when we're surrounded by people — and how healing begins when we allow ourselves to be seen.

We unpack:

• The difference between being alone and feeling lonely
  
• Somatic or physical ways to manage anxiety and stress
  
• The role of meditation and breathwork in building emotional resilience
  
• The power of community (and how to start one from scratch!)
  
• Tools to reconnect with yourself during difficult transitions

This episode is for anyone navigating change, craving deeper connection, or seeking peace in the quiet moments. Let's Dive In!
