Why do I feel lonely when my life is full of people? Morgan asks her mom — and lands somewhere neither of them expected. An honest mother-daughter talk.

Morgan called it "the lighthearted topic of loneliness."

She was joking. Then she asked the question anyway.

She has a job she loves. Friendships going back fourteen years. Neighbors who feed her dog without being asked. She cooks for people at her house four times a week. And she still feels lonely, often — and it still feels bad.

So she brought it to her mom.

Misty was single for twenty-two years after her divorce and didn't live alone until she was fifty, so she has her own version of the question.

What neither of them expected was for Morgan to talk her way into an answer partway through — a metaphor about hunger that reframed the whole thing. For both of them.

❌ There's no five-step plan here. ❌ No verse tacked on at the end.

💖 Just a mother and a daughter in a small warm room, going after something that keeps them both up at night, and finding their way to hope instead of fear.

If you've ever looked around at a full life and wondered why you still feel alone... come sit in on this one. ✨

This is just us, talking. If you want to go deeper into any of it, here's where to find me.
