Finding Connection Again
I’ve been working remotely since 2007, and truthfully—I love it. The freedom, the flexibility, the ability to work in flow with my own energy… it’s a dream for someone like me.
But something happened during the pandemic that surprised me.
Even with my husband and daughter in the house 24×7, I felt deeply, achingly lonely.
I wasn’t physically alone, but I missed the energetic exchange that happens when we gather. I missed the feeling of being seen, heard, and supported by others outside my home. And now, with my family no longer around all the time, I’ve had to be even more intentional about creating the connection my heart longs for.
Designed for Connection
As someone who is naturally social (even if I’m bashful at first), I’ve learned that connection isn’t optional for me – it’s essential. It’s the spark that brings me back to life.
Over the years, I’ve found ways to combat the loneliness that sometimes comes with solo work. The most meaningful has been hosting my New Moon Tea Ceremonies – gatherings born from an intuitive nudge that wouldn’t go away.
At first, it felt awkward. I questioned if anyone would come or if it even mattered. But I showed up anyway. The space has evolved beautifully – slowly, organically – and each month it becomes more aligned with what I know women deeply crave: sacred, intentional connection.
Why So Many Women Feel Invisible
In my work and my community, I’ve noticed a common thread among women – especially those working in tech or leadership roles:
They’re tired.
Not just tired from work – but tired from not being seen.
Tired of feeling invisible, ignored, or misunderstood.
Some try to speak up louder. Some retreat quietly. Many don’t even realize how disconnected they’ve become – not just from others, but from themselves.
That’s the deeper ache:
A lack of true connection – not just to others, but to our own inner truth.
When we lose connection with ourselves, we lose our spark. We forget what lights us up. We stop listening to the subtle guidance that’s always been there.
3 Ways to Reconnect – Starting Today
Here are three simple ways I invite in soul-aligned connection, especially on the days when loneliness creeps in:
- Pull an Oracle Card – Each morning, I choose a card and let its message sink in. Today’s card was Love—a gentle reminder: I am love and always have been.
(If you’re looking for a deck, I adore Alana Fairchild’s Rumi oracle cards.) - Reach Out to Someone Who Sees You – Think of a friend or soul-sister who makes you feel lighter. Send the text. Set a time to meet. Let connection come before convenience.
- Create a Mini Ritual or Gathering – You don’t have to host a big event. Light a candle. Make tea. Journal. Invite one or two friends to join you in intention. Even the smallest ceremonies can ripple out and reconnect you with what matters.
You Are Love
If you’re feeling disconnected right now, I want you to know this:
You are love.
You are worthy of connection.
You don’t have to do this alone.
And if no one comes to mind, reach out to me. I’ll see you, hear you, and love you for exactly who you are.
