Overcome Loneliness by Focusing Outside of Yourself

In this episode of the Catholic Coaching Podcast (Ep. 267), Matt and Erin revisit the growing epidemic of loneliness—especially among Gen Z—and explore how the simple but powerful skill of active listening can be a true antidote.

Unlike surface-level interactions, deep listening creates meaningful connection, reduces social anxiety, and helps people feel seen, known, and loved. You’ll discover:
•What loneliness really is (and isn’t).
•Why our longing points ultimately to God.
•How active listening transforms both the speaker and the listener.
•A simple tool called the Spotlight Effect you can apply right away.

This conversation blends psychology, theology, and practical coaching tools to help you cultivate deeper connections in your family, friendships, ministry, or workplace.
