Honestly Carl is Lonely

Honestly ... I'm Lonely

Today, Kate chats with a high school friend, Carl. Carl talks about connection and belonging as a high school band kid, and then the loneliness of leaving the band and heading home. They reminisce about high school and how they struggled to find their identity. They talk long and hard about the connectivity of music and concerts. They bonded over A-Ha as kids and today Ball Park Music as adults, and continue to bond over music and the connection it can bring.

Carl talks about loneliness being a measure of unkept expectations. He has learnt to expect less, and it has made him happier. They are two very curious humans and talk about curiosity and learning and examining why things make you feel the way they do. How you can be proud of loneliness. The pressure of the big days like Christmas, or Mother's Day and how we can create our own loneliness sometimes by thinking things have "to be" a special way or the way they always were.

Woven in and out of the chatting, Carl answers the lonely pod questions with refreshing honesty. We hope you enjoy!
