From Batman to Elsa, we’ve grown up admiring the lone wolf, the misunderstood outsider who goes it alone, saves the day, and walks off into the metaphorical snow. But is loneliness really the price of greatness? And why do we keep telling stories where connection is seen as weakness?

In this episode, we unravel the myth of the lonely hero. We explore how culture celebrates self-sufficiency, how this shows up in real life (therapy rooms included), and why asking for help is often harder than saving the world. Whether you're the strong one, the fixer, or just tired of carrying it all alone, this one's for you.

Because real heroes don’t work solo. They just think they’re supposed to.
