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.
