The Loneliness of Caregiving No One Talks About
You can be surrounded by people and still feel completely alone.
In this deeply moving episode, Charlotte speaks to a form of loneliness caregivers rarely name but nearly all experience: the kind that blooms inside a full house. The kind that grows louder in a room full of visitors. The kind you carry behind the brave face and constant managing.
This episode explores the profound disconnection that happens when the world sees your function but not your fatigue. It offers honest language for invisible burdens, quiet acknowledgment of emotional isolation, and practical ways to stay tethered to yourself when connection with others feels impossible.
Charlotte doesn’t try to fix the loneliness. She names it. Validates it. And offers small, sacred practices for honoring what you carry in silence.
Because sometimes the loudest place in the world is the dinner table. And the most crowded room is the one where you feel least seen.
