Have you ever felt lonely in a room full of people, even when you’re surrounded, included, and socially “fine”?

In this episode, I talk about my time working with ITV on their Dance Away Loneliness campaign and explore why loneliness isn’t always about the absence of people, but the absence of emotional safety.

You’ll learn how people-pleasing, masking, and nervous system survival responses can create a sense of disconnection - where you’re present on the outside, but unseen on the inside.

And how loneliness can exist inside friendships, relationships, and social groups when you don’t feel safe enough to be fully yourself.

If you struggle with anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, or feeling like you don’t quite belong, this episode will help you understand what your loneliness may be trying to tell you - through a compassionate, trauma-informed lens.

In this episode, we explore:

• Why you can feel lonely even when you’re not alone
• The trauma-informed link between loneliness and emotional safety
• How people-pleasing and shapeshifting lead to disconnection
• The nervous system cost of performing belonging
• How to begin building self-belonging and safer, deeper connection
• Why discernment matters: not every space deserves your vulnerability

A grounding episode for anyone who has ever wondered:
“Why do I feel alone, even when I have people around me?”

If you’ve ever wondered “why do people call me too sensitive?” or questioned whether your feelings are “too much”, this spoken word piece is for you.

I explore how sensitivity gets misunderstood, how shame gets attached to it, and why sensitivity isn’t the problem - the meaning assigned to it is.

This episode is for the deep-feelers, the ones who swallow their reactions to keep the peace, and the ones who were never given space to feel.

Ever received a message that made your stomach drop… and your brain instantly filled in the blanks with “They’re annoyed” or “I’ve done something wrong”?

This episode covers:
• why we overthink texts and and replay social interactions
• how ambiguity becomes threat for a dysregulated nervous system
• why we assume tone, meaning and intention behind peoples messages
• the difference between confidence and safety
• how e fight/flight/freeze/fawn can show up in communication
• and why repair requires nervous system safety, not just assertiveness or “good communication skills”

If you identify with overthinking, people-pleasing, anxious attachment, rejection sensitivity, masking, fear of confrontation or avoiding conflict - this episode will help you make sense of these patterns, how to stop overthinking and how to respond differently.
