  13. Is Being Alone Better Than Feeling Lonely in a Relationship?

    Show notes

    Have you ever been in a relationship where you felt lonelier than when single? Physically present with someone but emotionally distant, yearning for a deeper connection? You're not alone. Research reveals that one in four individuals in long-term relationships experience loneliness, even with loved ones.

    Relationships aren't always the fairy tale we're led to believe. Yet, solitude often appears as an unappealing alternative.

    Which is worse: opting for solitude or remaining in a draining relationship? And why do we fear solitude so much?

  15. Philosophical Concepts Simplified for Everyone

    Show notes

    Here’s every philosophical idea explained so simply, even a 5-year-old can grasp it. Philosophy, with its hypotheticals and ‘isms,’ can be overwhelming. Yet, behind these ancient thinkers and their fancy words, philosophy aims to do two things: Understand how the world works and suggest how you can live better within it.

    There are many schools of philosophy, and I strive to explain most of them here.
