4 Things I’ve Learned From Listening to Other People’s Stories
Mon Feb 02 2026
After sitting down with nearly 90 people over the last two years, certain patterns keep repeating.
In this solo episode of The Lonely Chapter, I reflect on four observations that sit beneath many of the stories shared on the podcast - not as advice, but as orientation.
We explore:
→ Why insight alone rarely leads to change
→ Why confidence usually follows responsibility, not the other way around
→ Why people regret staying too long more than trying
→ Why struggle is relative, and comparison often keeps us stuck
This podcast is for anyone who feels like they’re doing okay on the surface, but quietly unsure how to live well.
