Ubuntu, Salbona and the Power of Being Seen
Manage episode 519978678 series 3639244
In this episode, I explore a kind of loneliness that goes far deeper than a quiet Friday night in. It is the quiet ache that follows many people into recovery, even when life looks full on the outside. I talk about the two ideas that changed my own understanding of healing, Ubuntu and Salbona, and how they offer a way back to belonging when willpower alone simply is not enough.
I also look at what it truly means to be seen in recovery, not as a version you perform but as the person you are right now. When connection becomes the medicine, everything shifts. If you have ever felt that you were supposed to do this alone, this conversation might just ease that weight.
Highlights:
(01:48) - The hidden loneliness so many people carry
(03:32) - Why modern recovery pressures us to fix ourselves in isolation
(05:20) - Ubuntu and a new way to understand healing through connection
(07:14) - How being witnessed can break cycles of shame
(09:02) - Deep listening and becoming a safe space for others
(10:25) - The universal human truth that we heal in community
