In this powerful and timely episode of Facing The Moment, we explore the silent epidemic of loneliness—a condition that affects people of all ages and cuts across cultures, relationships, and social structures.

Sarah Oswald, Executive Director of the Relational Life Foundation, joins us for an intimate and illuminating conversation on the roots, manifestations, and healing paths for loneliness. Together, Toufic and Sarah unpack loneliness not just as isolation but as a societal wound—linked to trauma, individualism, patriarchy, and the breakdown of community.

They reflect on the mental and physical health tolls, the generational impact, and how modern life—despite hyperconnectivity—has left many feeling unseen and unheard.

Sarah offers a hopeful vision rooted in intentional connection, self-awareness, and community-building, and shares practical and deeply human ways we can respond: by slowing down, listening, showing up with presence, and reclaiming our common humanity.

This conversation is an invitation to both acknowledge pain and ignite renewal, for ourselves and for others. If you or someone you care about is wrestling with disconnection, this episode is both a compassionate guide and a call to action.

Tune in to remember: you are not alone.
