Ep. 12 - Speaking your loneliness story

As a human emotion, loneliness affects everyone. But the stigma of loneliness prevents us from talking about it. It prevents us from doing the things that our loneliness is telling us to do: take steps to get meaningful connection in our lives. It doesn’t have to be this way. Join me for a conversation with Matt Landsiedel from Matt Landsiedel Coaching and Inspired to be Authentic in this episode of my podcast for gay men ‘Connection over Coffee with The Loneliness Guy’ and let’s talk about the stigma of loneliness and moving beyond it. I’m working to de-stigmatise loneliness and promote authentic connection for gay men globally, one coffee at a time. You’re not alone anymore. About Matt Matt’s story is uplifting, inspiring and eminently relatable. A reforming perfectionist and recovering addict, he’s spent the last few years working through his sources of shame and practices ‘healthy vulnerability’ and knows that this is both the way through shame, our shame-induced behaviours and getting the connection we need.
