In this episode, we cover:

• The difference between being alone and feeling lonely

• How small moments of curiosity can lead to meaningful relationships
• Why vulnerability is the missing piece in deeper friendships
• Practical, low-risk ways to reach out when you’re feeling disconnected

Stay curious.

Be a little more vulnerable.

Turns out… friendship might just be the cure for loneliness.
