  • 69 | Is Social Media Stealing Your Confidence? The Comparison Trap That’s Hurting Real Friendships – with Val Walker
    Jul 8 2025

    In this follow-up to our episode, Why Am I All Alone?, author and rehabilitation consultant, Val Walker returns for a powerful conversation about the hidden ways social media shapes our confidence and friendships—especially for women navigating adult connection.

    With hundreds of online “friends,” why do so many of us still feel alone? Why does a single unanswered message or unliked post feel so personal? And how do comparison and online validation impact how we show up offline?

    🎧 In this thoughtful and honest episode, Val and I explore:

    • The link between social media and self-esteem
    • How the comparison trap chips away at confidence
    • How social media discourages real-life connection and vulnerability

    You’ll also hear Val explain what it’s like to feel unseen online—and how we can start reclaiming connection beyond the screen.

    🌿 This episode is for you if:
    • You’ve ever questioned your worth based upon likes or follows
    • You want deeper, more authentic friendships
    • You’re trying to be more intentional with social media and real connection

  • 67 | Why Am I All Alone? Breaking the Silence on Isolation, Loneliness, and Adult Friendship - with Val Walker
    Jul 1 2025

    Have you ever found yourself wondering, “Why am I all alone?” In this heartfelt and honest episode, I’m joined by author, Val Walker to explore one of the most tender—and often silent—struggles many women face: isolation and loneliness in adulthood.

    Val shares the powerful story that sparked her journey into researching loneliness. Val’s story highlights the harsh realities of and complicated emotions surrounding isolation. She also discusses how even a friend’s abandonment isn’t always what it seems. Finally, Val’s story highlights forgiveness, reconciliation, and her own passion for helping others realize this simple truth - you are not alone. In fact, any one of us can become isolated through various life circumstances. The good news, though, is that, with a bit of effort, we can also find our way back from isolation and loneliness. We can find our way back to connection and community.

    💬 In This Episode:
    • What really happened when Val’s friend didn’t pick her up
    • The deeper reason loneliness is not just a personal issue—but a societal one
    • How shame keeps us stuck in isolation
    • What Val learned through research and reflection on friendship and healing
    • Why grace, forgiveness, and reconnection matter
    • How to move forward with compassion when people let you down
    💛 Challenge of the Week:

    Who in your life might feel forgotten or overlooked? Send a message. Make a call. Show up. You never know how much it might mean.
