Most people don’t think about aging until it hits them. One day, your world feels smaller, your phone stops ringing, and you realize—where did everyone go?
In this episode, I break down the harsh realities of aging and loneliness—why your social circle shrinks, why retirement can feel like an identity crisis, and why more people than ever are living alone. But here’s the truth: loneliness isn’t inevitable. The people who stay connected later in life prepare for it now.
This episode will challenge the way you think about relationships, work, and your future self. If you don’t want to wake up one day wondering where everyone went, this is a conversation you need to hear.
