Episode 9: But, actually we’re lonely
In today’s episode, Hannah and Emma discuss loneliness in this hyperconnected world, where the quality of the connection is lacking. We talk about our roles in our own loneliness, growth edges, and feeling safe enough to show up authentically, while exploring loneliness as a very shared experience (Thanks for the redirect, “Twin Flames Universe”)
