Host Elizabeth Tiglao-Guss shares a surprise insight from a recent therapy session: beneath current relationship tension, she’s grieving the loss of sisterhood and a deep craving for kinship with women who truly know her. She reflects on longing for belonging since college and explains how infertility and loss can quietly isolate women as social circles shift around kids, causing friendships to drift and compounding grief—especially for single women navigating the journey without a partner. Elizabeth offers practical ways to rebuild connection intentionally using available time and bandwidth: host small gatherings, name the desire for deeper friendship out loud, seek women in a similar season through groups like Facebook, stay open to unlikely friendships across ages and life stages, and deepen existing relationships one step at a time. She closes by encouraging listeners to reach out this week and DM her on Instagram at by Chance Avenue.Therapy Surprise InsightGrieving Sisterhood LossA Lifelong LongingInfertility Isolation EffectsSingle Women LonelinessTurning Ache Into ActionHost Small GatheringsSay It Out LoudFind Your Season PeopleUnlikely FriendshipsQuality Over QuantitySisterhood Is EssentialWeekly Challenge And ConnectClosing GratitudeConnect with Elizabeth:IG: @bychanceavenueStay connected & up to date with all things By ChanceWant to share your story?
