JOB A: The Joy of Being Alone
Episode 19
Monday, 12 January, 2026
Many people describe themselves as social, busy, or connected yet feel unsettled, anxious, or lost the moment they’re alone. Plans fall through, the house goes quiet, and something inside feels off.In this episode, we explore what I call covert codependency... a subtle, socially rewarded pattern where people outsource emotional safety, self-worth, and regulation to constant connection, activity, or validation. Not because they’re needy or broken, but because they were never taught how to feel safe with themselves.You’ll learn the psychological and nervous system reasons why being alone can feel uncomfortable, why modern culture quietly reinforces this pattern, and how loneliness and solitude are often confused. We’ll also talk about why peace with yourself isn’t isolation... it’s emotional maturity.This episode offers a grounded reframe of aloneness, along with gentle reflections to help you notice where connection supports you, and where it may be covering discomfort with yourself.If you’ve ever felt restless when plans fall through, pressured to always be “on,” or unsure who you are without other people around, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.🎧 Subscribe to Ask Chardee Podcast and listen every Monday.ConnectWebsite: chardeemcewan-guzda.comBook a call: click hereInstagram: chardee_magicwomanWebsite: chardeemagicwoman
