3. Loneliness as HER

In this episode of Recorded Vulnerabilities, Varsey Laurelle opens up about the complex and deeply human experience of loneliness, even in a life full of people, clients, kids, and community. From feeling like she never quite belonged to navigating betrayal, unmet needs, and over-functioning as a means of survival, Varsey gets real about what it means to feel unseen and unsupported.

She reflects on her upbringing, family dynamics, entrepreneurship, and the crushing pressure to have it all together. Through candid storytelling, she explores how we can reframe support, redefine community, and recognize the "loneliness loop" we often unconsciously live in.

This conversation is an invitation to get honest about your needs, acknowledge the people who show up unexpectedly, and start building a more intentional life rooted in connection, not pride or performance.

• What stories are you telling yourself that keep you from asking for support?
