Ep #64 - What happens when you’re suddenly abandoned by your pack?
Loneliness is a universal human emotion that can often go unaddressed and underestimated in its impact. In a society where the focus is too often on productivity and success, acknowledging feelings of isolation and vulnerability can be perceived as a weakness. In this heartfelt episode, host and childfree Latina Paulette Erato shares her personal journey navigating the complicated emotions around loneliness in the wake of a health scare.
As she struggled with her health crisis, Paulette faced the harsh reality of toxic relationships that crumbled when faced with adversity. The loneliness she experienced was surprising, and painfully highlighted the stark contrast between surface-level connections and genuine support systems. Through tears and triumphs, Paulette learned the invaluable lesson of diversifying her communities to foster genuine connections.
Through vulnerability and introspection, Paulette sheds light on the challenges and growth that stemmed from these experiences, and why intentional community-building is essential.
