#223 Loneliness, making friends as an adult & lockdown hangovers
from Grief Magic: Rituals, Tarot & Gentle Conversations about Loss · host Yarrow Magdalena
In this episode, I’m talking about loneliness, the lingering impact of lockdown, and what it can feel like to make friends as an adult.So many of us experience loneliness at least sometimes, especially in a world shaped by social media, remote work, changing friendships, and the long imprint of the pandemic.I reflect on how disability, chronic illness, and neurodivergence can make conventional social scripts harder to follow, and how our nervous systems can hold both a need for connection and a need for solititude.I also share a little about moving to Scotland without an established social network, and what helped me slowly rebuild connection in ways that actually felt good.Here is the sign up for the decluttering fundraiser workshop I mentioned: https://griefmagic.com/spring-cocoon/Love,Yarrow
