Success is supposed to feel good. But what if it also feels… lonely?


What if your growth created distance from the people you love most?

In this episode, I’ll explain the neuroscience of relational disconnection after personal growth—why self-comparison, status shifts, and unspoken shame rewire the brain and fracture emotional safety. Whether it’s family, friends, or your partner, I’ll show you how to recognize when distance is caused by trauma patterns—not truth—and how to rebuild closeness without shrinking yourself.
