Happy Messy Founders: The One About How Loneliness Hurts & Heals Us

It can be hard to admit loneliness; there is a tremendous amount of shame that comes with admitting it, even if it's just to yourself.  Being lonely has never been exclusive to romantic partnerships, and it's certainly not just a stereotype of a person sitting alone in a corner. It can actually manifest in different ways with different people. We can be at a party, surrounded by people, and still feel lonely. It’s hard for startup founders to admit that they’re struggling, the pressure of working long days and maintaining a positive attitude in the face of constant challenges can be isolating.

This week, Oko and Lalitha get really honest about how loneliness has affected them, how deeply it has cut, and what they have been doing to cope with it. As fulfilling as your may seem, loneliness can hit at anytime. Learning about how to deal with it could save you from a lifetime of pain. We're here to support you in that first step.
