You're not the only one...

Let’s be honest for a second.

Remote work gives us freedom.

But it also makes it easier to feel… disconnected.

You might go hours (or days) without a real conversation.

You might finish a big project and get a Slack emoji but no real “well done.”

You might be supporting your team… and quietly feeling alone in it all.

Sound familiar?

This week, we’re talking about loneliness in remote work, not because it means something’s wrong, but because it’s normal.

And manageable.

Especially when you lead the culture.

You’re not the only one feeling this way.

In 5 mins or less, you’ll learn👇

Remote work ≠ always connected

We have Zoom. We have Slack. We have emoji reactions.

But that doesn’t always add up to real connection.

In remote teams, loneliness is quiet.

It doesn’t always show up in surveys or 1:1s.

But it’s there.

It’s there in the hesitations, the emotional distance, the drop in morale.

And if you’re the one leading the team, the culture + the morale?

It can feel even heavier.

Because you’re holding the space for others, without always getting it back.

Why we get lonely, even in “connected” teams

🚨 You celebrate wins in Slack, not face-to-face
🚨 You don’t have casual check-ins unless they’re scheduled
🚨 People hesitate to “bother” each other with questions or chats
