About this listen

Are you part of the 60%? It's true. 60% of adults self-identify as lonely. We feel so alone...but collectively, the majority of us are feeling alone, together! We are in the midst of a loneliness epidemic. In fact, the CDC has said that loneliness on the body is as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a DAY.

Is it even worth trying to make friends? What if I get rejected? What if they break my trust and betray me? What if they waste my time? What if... What if... What if...You're still worth finding and building rich friendships, and it IS possible even today. Yes, it is a risk. Yes, any of the what-ifs above *could* happen. But, you know what else could happen? You find the friendship you've always wanted your entire life. We're on a mission to DESTROY loneliness by building rich, meaningful friendships and relationships. New videos drop on Thursdays!

    If You’re Afraid of Getting Hurt Again, Listen to This.
    Jan 30 2026

    Hey fellow loneliness destroyer, text me!

    If you’ve been hurt before, it makes total sense that you’re hesitant to put yourself out there again. But what if the thing you want most, deeper friendships, real community, a fresh start, is sitting on the other side of one brave decision?

    In this episode of Accidentally Intentional, I’m sharing the mindset shift that helped me stop feeling like life was just happening to me and start choosing what happens next. I talk about taking social risks even with introversion and social anxiety, why hope is not naive, and how to rebuild after painful relationships without becoming a victim of your circumstances.

    If you want to go deeper, I offer 1:1 friendship coaching. Email: contact@accidentallyintentional.com

    Hey fellow loneliness destroyer, text me!

    Have you ever felt disappointed in a friend but couldn’t fully explain why? Or frustrated by the current state of your friendships even though you care deeply about the people in your life?

    In this episode of Accidentally Intentional, I break down the one habit that separates incredible friends from everyone else. This is not about blaming others or lowering your standards. It’s about becoming the kind of friend people feel safe, seen, and understood with.
