We live in a world where everyone’s talking but hardly anyone’s really listening.
We nod, we multitask, we half-hear the people we love while our brains sprint somewhere else.
And the result? A culture of noise, disconnection, and loneliness disguised as communication.
In this week’s Little Rant, I unpack how we got here, how social media trained us to treat conversations like comment sections, how constant distraction has rewired our ability to pay attention, and why listening, truly listening, has quietly become one of the last real acts of love.
This episode isn’t about being perfect.
It’s about being present.
Because when we stop trying to fix, interrupt, or perform empathy, and actually listen, something shifts in us, and in the person speaking.
So grab a coffee, take a breath, and tune in.
Because if we all listened a little more, maybe we’d finally start hearing each other again.
