Tonight’s show is for the people who feel like they’re doing life by themselves, even when they’re surrounded by others.

If you’re a new dad wrestling with emotions you can’t explain.
If you’re in your 40s, 50s, or beyond and wondering when your circle got smaller.
If the holidays make the quiet moments feel heavier than normal.

You are not alone.

We’re joined by Dr. Sheehan Fisher from Northwestern Medicine to talk about paternal postpartum depression, a struggle many fathers have but almost no one discusses.

And Heather Nawrocki from AARP shares new research about loneliness in adults over 45, why it’s hitting so many in midlife, and how to take real steps toward connection again.

If you need understanding, encouragement, or just a reminder that someone sees what you’re going through, tonight’s show is for you.
