No. 36 Moving cities, loneliness, and finding your people
In this episode of The Evergreen Rx, we explore the question: How do I build a sense of belonging when I’m starting from scratch? A listener writes in about finally making their long-awaited move to a new city—only to be met with an unexpected loneliness. They’ve tried putting themselves out there, but deep connections feel out of reach. As they watch others effortlessly find their people, they wonder: What am I missing?
We’ll talk about:
Attachment styles
The role of comparison and high expectations in loneliness
The belonging wound—and how to gently stretch the comfort zone
If you’ve ever felt like an outsider in your own life or struggled to find your place in a new chapter, this episode is for you.

Your prescription for living well, dose for this week: Sometimes our thoughts get way too loud when we are by ourselves a lot (like after a move or even in the city you’ve always lived in). Healthy distractions have a time + place — a movie, an amazing book, … dive into the worlds of the characters to help lessen the fixation on your own world. Our own internal dialogue softens when we have friends in our lives so take a break while you are in the in-between space of finding your new friends — through character’s stories. You haven’t found that friend group YET, they will come. It’s a matter of time + maybe a bit of healing. Remember, the people you are looking for are looking for you too. Believe you will find each other. 🍃
