When was the last time you spent time alone without reaching for your phone, filling the silence, or asking someone else what they think? This week on The Mid Week Tease, Adelle Onyango explores how solitude and silence can help women reconnect with themselves, rediscover what they actually want, and rebuild trust in their own intuition.From the expectations placed on women to constantly be available to others, to the discomfort that can arise when everything finally goes quiet, this episode is an invitation to get curious about the relationship you have with yourself.In this episode, Adelle unpacks: Why being alone can feel uncomfortable when we've spent years prioritizing other people's needs. How silence can help us recognize our own preferences, desires, and boundaries. The difference between intuition, fear, and anxiety. Why solitude and loneliness aren't the same thing, and why needing connection is human. Five practical ways to create more intentional moments of solitude in your everyday life. Because learning to enjoy your own company isn't about becoming a woman who needs nobody. It's about becoming a woman who knows herself.
