This week’s dilemma:
“I like working from home but I’m lonely.”
In this minisode, we hear from Aisha, who loves the flexibility of hybrid working but misses the spontaneous connection of office life.
She’s not in crisis or struggling with the work itself. But she feels increasingly isolated and is realising, maybe too late, how much of her social life used to come from office small talk, midweek coffees and the energy of simply being around people.
We talk about the difference between freedom and connection, the hidden costs of remote work and what to do when your workday feels productive but your week feels a bit empty.
If working from home has started to feel like living at work, this one’s for you.
