"i’ve been seeing my loneliness as an entity i live with, like a roommate. i take my loneliness on dates. we listen to sad music together. we sit together at dinner. i look it in the eyes. we don’t fight." - zoe berger

this truly is a very special conversation and might be one of my favourite guest episodes yet! cara & I were joined by the wonderful zoe who is a writer/graphic designer living in nyc to talk about loneliness, love, mental illness and everything in between. some specific q's we answer are:

how to find the beauty in loneliness and stop feeling ashamed?
how to deal with heartbreak or breakups?
what is it really like to live with BPD and depression?
how to know what medication or treatment is right for your mental illness?

recording this episode was so insightful to us because zoe has the most beautiful way of looking at life and the human emotional spectrum! i took sooo much away from this conversation and i'm sure you will too. <3

check zoe's iconicccc style here on her ig, or her wonderful writing on her blog!
