"If you're lonely when you're alone, you are in bad company." - Jean-Paul Sartre In this episode I talk all about my recent journey of living alone while my husband and I are long distance. I discuss my introverted nature and the way being alone has sometimes not been by choice - and I also talk about how freeing it is to embrace yourself as your own best friend and look forward to alone time. This episode is all about becoming the best company you could possibly have.
