102: You're Not Lonely Because You're Single. You're Lonely Because You've Lost Yourself.

Last week, we talked about why more women are opting out of traditional relationship dynamics. But that raises an even bigger question...Now what?Does choosing yourself mean you're destined to be lonely?In this deeply personal episode, I take you through my Fourth of July spent entirely alone - and the unexpected realization that changed how I think about solitude, relationships, and the life I'm building.We talk about why being alone isn't the same as being lonely, why appearances can be deceiving, and why some of the loneliest people I've ever known were sitting next to someone they loved.I also share the private realities behind two relationships that looked happy from the outside, what grief taught me about becoming someone new, and why learning to enjoy your own company raises your standards in every area of your life - not just dating.If you've ever wondered whether choosing peace means giving up on love, this episode is for you.Because the relationship that changes everything isn't the one you have with someone else.It's the one you have with yourself.Connect with Darla Ridilla: 🌐 Learn more about podcast mentoring and my 30-day podcast launch program: https://www.highvaluewoman.info/shareyourvoiceFree Course - You Have Something to Say: The 3 Shifts That Help You Stop Overthinking and Start Your Podcast - https://youtu.be/IcXzJDGDUtkWebsite: https://www.highvaluewoman.infoSign up for mailing list: https://www.highvaluewoman.info/connectFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550835718631Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/highvaluewoman7/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HighValueWoman-m7wLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darla-ridilla-3179b110/Send me an email: [email protected]
