#23 The Balance Between Being Alone and Being Deeply Connected

2026-04-08

In this episode, I talk about the balance of deeply valuing alone time and relationships. The part of me that needs solitude to think, reset, and feel grounded, and the part of me that values deep relationships and meaningful connection. These sides seem opposite, but for me, they actually support each other.

We also talk about why it matters to feel comfortable in your own company. You don’t have to love being alone in the same way I do, but there is something really powerful about learning to be with yourself and trust yourself.

At the same time, I share why I believe so deeply in connection and relationships, and how both solitude and intimacy can exist together in a really healthy, aligned way.

This is really about understanding your own balance and what you need more of.

¿Donde puedes escuchar?

Life Notes is a voice-note–style podcast for thoughtful people in the middle of figuring things out about themselves, their relationships, and what really matters.

Hosted by Megan Marie, Life Notes offers short, honest reflections that feel more like a voice memo to a friend than a performance. These are the things that don’t make it to Instagram. The unfiltered thoughts, soft questions, and little bits of clarity that show up while brushing your teeth, walking to the coffee shop, or sitting in the sun.

It’s for the ones who feel deeply, who overthink everything, who are learning to trust themselves again. For the ones outgrowing old versions of themselves and soft-launching new ones. For anyone craving a moment of quiet honesty in a loud world.

There’s no theme music or polished advice. It's just a place to slow down and listen in. Always raw and always real.
