E31 - Isolation Is Not Self-Care: The Lie That Sounds Like Healing

Isolation can sound wise. It can look mature. It can even feel like healing. But what if the very thing we’re calling “protecting our peace” is actually protecting our wounds?In this episode, we unpack the difference between intentional solitude and defensive isolation. As leaders, entrepreneurs, and women of faith, many of us have learned to withdraw when we’re overwhelmed, disappointed, or stretched too thin. But isolation is not self-care — and it is not self-love.We explore how isolation quietly robs us of the God-ordained connections meant to sharpen, stretch, and strengthen us. Through Scripture and honest reflection, we confront the lie that healing requires disappearing. You’ll learn how to discern whether you’re resetting in God’s presence or retreating out of fear, pride, or past pain.If you’ve been building, leading, and healing mostly on your own, this conversation will gently challenge you to reconsider what real growth looks like.You were not designed to do this alone. And choosing connection isn’t weakness — it’s wisdom.Host: Dorcas Pittman Website: https://www.dorcaspittman.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamdorcasp/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@iamdorcasp Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@iamdorcasp
