Have you ever wrestled with being alone? How can a season of solitude be a catalyst for personal growth? 

I am in a very difficult season of forced aloneness and I wanted to share my story with you. Thankfully my good friend Lauren Bronson Petrous is joining me as my co-host and we delve into the importance of changing our perspectives on aloneness. We emphasize that being alone does not equate to being lonely and explore the power of solitude for self-discovery, personal growth, and emotional health, while addressing societal perceptions of being alone. 

Our goal is to underscore the significance of self-awareness and the journey of understanding one's identity, particularly in a culture that often prioritizes community and partnership. Some key topics are:

• Redefining aloneness and its importance
• The power of solitude for self-discovery and personal growth
• Societal perceptions of being alone versus being lonely
• The role of self-awareness in personal and professional success
• Intentional solitude as a catalyst for growth and resilience
• Insights from the Bible on the value of aloneness
• Scientific support for the benefits of solitude
• Empowerment and liberation through being alone
• Balancing community and self-understanding
• Profound personal insights gained from forced aloneness

We want to encourage you to embrace the transformative power of aloneness, using it as a tool for self-discovery, growth, and empowerment. Let us know how you are embracing aloneness by tagging Lauren and I at @laurenbronsonpetrous &  @biancaolthoff.

Love you,

B
