I think what we need to do is sort of accept that these feelings are part of what it means to be human. And you know, it's give ourselves permission to be human really and know that it's just one part of the whole spectrum of human emotion.
Loneliness can be a sneaky companion, even when you're surrounded by people. In this episode of 'Alcohol Free Life', Janey Lee Grace sits down with Cheryl Rickman, a positive psychologist and author, to explore the impact of loneliness and the vital role of connection in our lives. Cheryl sheds light on how loneliness isn't just about being alone; it's about feeling disconnected, even in a crowd.
She shares practical tips on fostering meaningful connections and highlights the importance of self-care in overcoming isolation. Adding a unique twist to the conversation, Gemma from JOMO Club joins in to discuss the concept of the 'Joy of Missing Out'. Instead of FOMO (Fear of Missing Out), Gemma's JOMO Club encourages people to find happiness in staying in and enjoying alcohol-free moments.
They chat about JOMO Club's innovative boxes of alcohol-free drinks delivered right to your door, making it easier to embrace a sober lifestyle without feeling left out. Janey, Cheryl, and Gemma delve into how choosing sobriety can sometimes lead to feelings of loneliness, especially when those around you continue to drink. They discuss strategies for navigating these tricky social waters and finding your tribe.
The episode wraps up with a heartfelt reminder that it's okay to feel lonely sometimes; it's a part of being human. But with the right support and self-care practices, you can turn loneliness into an opportunity for growth and connection. Tune in for an insightful discussion that blends practical advice with warm, empathetic conversation.
