Description

In this insightful episode, Vanisha R. Dailey discusses the complex reasons why so many adults experience loneliness—even when they are surrounded by people. Drawing on recent data from the Pew Research Center, Vanisha speaks on how modern life, technology, shifting social norms, and internal hurdles (like self-perception and communication style) all play a role.

She also brings in practical strategies for reconnecting: from building intentional friendships and deepening emotional intimacy, to small daily shifts that can break cycles of isolation. Whether you are feeling disconnected post-work, navigating relationship changes, or simply longing for more meaningful connection, this episode offers both empathy and actionable steps to help you find your way.
