Loneliness isn’t just something we feel when we’re alone - it can show up even in committed relationships, busy homes, and full lives. In this episode, I explore why loneliness happens inside relationships, the emotional and somatic layers underneath it, and how we can begin to reconnect when the distance feels heavy.We’ll talk about emotional bids, self-protection, micro-moments of closeness, and the small shifts that make relationships feel reachable again. Whether you’re in a partnership or navigating your own internal landscape, this episode offers warmth, insight, and practical tools to help you move from lonely to connected.
