Loneliness isn’t about being alone—it’s about feeling disconnected. In this heartfelt episode, Paige welcomes Becky Harling—author, speaker, Bible teacher, and host of The Connected Mom podcast—for an honest conversation about the roots of loneliness and the power of connection. Becky shares her personal journey and reminds us that even in a crowd, we can feel unseen. Together, they explore the value of interdependence over independence, the importance of friendships in parenting, and how to form meaningful prayer circles that offer spiritual and emotional support. Becky also offers practical advice for helping kids step away from screens and rebuild essential social skills. If you’ve ever felt alone in your parenting journey, this conversation is a gentle, hope-filled reminder: you were never meant to do it alone.

Paige’s Takeaways

  • Inter-dependence vs. Independence
    • Show your kids how to choose and make friends by doing it yourself
    • Let your kids see you grieving and celebrating with your friends—this is how connection is built.
  • Being brave to take the initiative 
    • It can be hard to meet people but pray about it
    • Don’t be afraid to be the one who takes the first step in building community
