003 Lonely but Not Alone: The Hidden Isolation of Chronic Illness

Ever felt completely alone, even in a room full of people? This episode is all about that invisible ache—loneliness that isn’t about being physically alone, but about not feeling understood. When you’re living with a chronic illness, especially one others can’t see, that kind of isolation can run deep. I’m sharing a personal story that hit me hard and offering a few gentle, real-life ways to cope when you feel unseen. You are not too sensitive. You’re not dramatic. You’re human—and you deserve real connection.

Memorable Quotes:

• “Loneliness isn’t always about being alone—it’s about not feeling understood.”
• “You deserve real connection—not just company. Not just people in the room, but people who actually see you and get you.”
• “I see you. And you belong here.”
