In this solo episode, Simone explores the tension between solitude and connection in our increasingly individualised world. Drawing inspiration from Floating Home: Lessons From a Life Less Ordinary and articles by Derek Thompson and Maybelle Morgan, she speaks on how modern life subtly encourages isolation and prioritising “boundaries” over meaningful social interaction.

Simone discusses when aloneness is good for us, such as solo travel and self-discovery, and when it starts to work against our nervous system and emotional well-being. She talks about how capitalism profits from our isolation and why it is time to see building community not as a luxury but as a life necessity.

This episode challenges the belief that independence equals strength or that needing others makes us weak. Simone explores how we can show up for each other with honesty, without over-functioning or self-sacrificing, and how to view connection as something grounding and healing.

Because at the end of the day, we do not thrive in isolation. We thrive in community.

In this episode, Mia and Simone unpack what it really means to decenter men, and spoiler: it’s not about hating men or cutting them out of your life.

Together, they break down how centering men often shows up in subtle ways, why shifting the focus back to yourself is an act of self-love, and how decentering men is really about reclaiming your voice, energy, and power.

Whether you’re navigating friendships, dating, or just your own growth journey, this conversation is a reminder that centering you is the most powerful choice you can make.
