Welcome to the Alone and Rising podcast.
Loneliness in relationships and self-worth can shape how we connect with others, even when we are not physically alone.
In this episode of Alone and Rising, Mari Williams speaks with Cara Cunniff about her experience of feeling deeply alone while surrounded by other military spouses during her husband’s deployment to Iraq.
Cara shares how this period of isolation led her to reflect on emotional connection, identity and what it really means to feel seen and understood. She speaks about the role of self-worth, the impact of small acts of kindness and how learning to be with yourself can change how you relate to others.
Drawing on her experiences living internationally and her background in the military, Cara offers a grounded perspective on how emotions shape connection, behaviour and the way we experience life.
She also reflects on resilience through endurance challenges, and how both physical and emotional experiences can shape personal growth.
This is a thoughtful conversation about loneliness, relationships and finding connection from within.
