08: The Art of Being Alone

Our Stories Within

Ever feel like life has you constantly in motion, with no time to pause, reflect, or just be with yourself? In this episode of Our Stories Within, I dive into the surprising power of intentional alone time. While a recent episode was about seeking support, today’s episode explores the flipside: the essential moments when going solo can offer profound clarity, creativity, and connection.

Whether you’re navigating high-stakes professional decisions or simply trying to reconnect with your personal path, spending intentional time alone can be transformational. I share insights from my coaching sessions this week, showing how this practice can be just as crucial for executive leaders as it is for individuals looking to ground themselves in their personal lives.

We explore:

• Why intentional alone time can unlock solutions that busyness keeps hidden
• The difference between distraction and true solitude
• How to “zoom out” from the noise and check in with yourself on a deeper level
• Simple steps to create more meaningful solo time that nourishes rather than drains
• Practical prompts to help you tap into your inner voice, even when life feels chaotic

If you’re feeling pulled in too many directions or constantly plugged into other people’s needs, this episode is a reminder that reconnecting with yourself is not a luxury but a necessity. Join me as we unpack why solitude - when used wisely - can be one of the most powerful tools to guide you toward a life that feels aligned and fulfilling.
