Over the past few years, Em has found herself navigating the end of an 18-year marriage, dating again in her 40s, single parenting, rebuilding her career independently and questioning many of the beliefs she’d carried since childhood about love, worthiness, approval and what it means to be a “good woman.”

Her new national tour “Addicted To Love” grew out of that experience, but the conversation itself is really about what happens when the life you built no longer fits and you’re forced to start listening to yourself again.

“We’ve lost the village”: Housing expert Lucinda Hartley on the loneliness crisis hiding in plain sight.

Australia is facing a loneliness epidemic and according to housing expert and urbanist Lucinda Hartley, the problem isn’t just our busy lives or screen addiction. It’s the way our cities have been designed. From long commutes and car dependence to apartment buildings that prioritise privacy over connection, modern Australian life is making it easier than ever to move through entire days without meaningful human interaction.

As rates of loneliness soar, particularly among young Australians, Lucinda says we need to stop treating loneliness as a personal failing and start recognising it as a housing and city design issue.

Author of Finding Home, Lucinda can discuss why the “village” that once sustained communities has quietly disappeared and simple changes individuals, developers and governments can make to rebuild connection into everyday life.
