Show Notes
Episode 18 reframes loneliness as a nervous system wound with deep historical roots—from slavery and Indigenous displacement, to migration and mass incarceration, to the isolation of women carrying households alone.
Tracy Gantlin-Monroy explores how loneliness shows up across history and culture, in hyper-connected digital lives, and in the bodies of marginalized caregivers. With Brainspotting insights and invitational reflections, this episode reminds us: community is not optional—it is medicine.
