Send us a text

We’re more connected than ever and yet so many of us feel more alone, more depleted, more fractured. From the rise of remote work to the silent pull of AI companions and parasocial relationships, something fundamental has shifted in how we show up for each other.

Join Anna and Tim as they unpack the structural, cultural, and emotional forces reshaping our relationships. This episode is a call to awareness, not despair, and it offers real questions and micro-practices for rebuilding meaningful connection. Whether you’re grieving lost intimacy, navigating political estrangement, or feeling hollow in a world of endless scrolling, you’re not alone.

This Episode Covers:

• How AI is changing intimacy, coaching, and even friendship
• The mental health fallout from social isolation post-COVID
• Why political division is estranging families more than geography
• Parasocial relationships and the illusion of belonging
• Why “mosting” is the new ghosting and how it hijacks your brain
• The loneliness epidemic and its physical health consequences
• Why Gen Z is stuck in situationships and emotional ambiguity
• A powerful 3C audit to help you reconnect today

Until next time, here's to deeper connections and personal growth.
Mad love!
