158. Why Are So Many People Feeling Lonely Today? | Rocco Loiacono

What if the loneliness and overwhelm so many mothers feel today isn’t a personal failing—but a sign that we’ve lost something essential? In this episode, we talk about the importance of community, the quiet strength of daily prayer, and the foundational role of family in a life of meaning. I reflect on how service to others brings more peace than self-focus, why motherhood was never meant to be carried alone, and how we can rebuild the support systems that once made life more livable. My guest is Rocco Loiacono, a Senior Lecturer at Curtin University Law School and a widely respected voice on the rule of law and cultural change. His insights into how modern life isolates us—and what we can do about it—add depth to this personal and spiritual conversation. I’d love to hear what stood out to you.
