This episode is about navigating loneliness in transitional times with Zsofia Gaudi

As summer fades and routines return, have you ever felt a quiet sense of disconnection? That subtle loneliness that creeps in during transitional periods is a universal experience, yet we rarely talk about it.

In this episode, we sit down with Zsofia Gaudi—a community organizer, mentor, and mental health advocate with a background in psychology—to explore the nuances of mental health. We discuss why feeling "out of sync" isn't a problem to be fixed, but an invitation to connect with our inner wisdom and understand our true emotional needs.

Zsofia shares powerful insights on differentiating between a need (like connection or peace) and a strategy (like buying a new phone). Using the beautiful metaphor of fermentation, she explains how community building thrives when every individual finds their unique place and role. This is a crucial conversation for anyone interested in personal well-being and for designers aiming to create products and services that foster genuine belonging.
