We’re Stealing Our Own Alone Time (and That’s Why We’re Burnt Out) | Ep. #164

In today’s episode of The Risen Fallen Podcast, I talk about how we all steal our own alone time without even realizing it. Think about it—we used to have moments in the shower, on the bus, walking through the store, even just taking a dump, where we’d actually sit with our thoughts. Now, we fill every second with noise—scrolling on our phones, blasting music, podcasts, or audiobooks.

In this episode I break down why solitude is so valuable, how losing it puts us in a vicious cycle, and what we can do to reclaim those little pockets of silence so we can actually feel recharged and present again.
