The Lonely Side of Healing: Why Growth Can Feel Isolating

Description

Healing is powerful—but it’s not always comfortable. In this deeply honest episode, we explore the often-unspoken loneliness that can come with personal growth and mental health work.

We talk about what it feels like to outgrow people, places, or even versions of ourselves. From the grief of letting go, to the emotional distance that can come with shifting values and boundaries, this episode validates the very real isolation that sometimes follows transformation.

We also reflect on the myths that healing always feels good, how relationships can shift as you change, and ways to cope with the solitude that may arise. Whether you’re in the thick of this season or looking back on it, this conversation is here to remind you—you’re not alone in feeling alone.
