EP 18: The Journey of Entrepreneurs, with Betsy Westhafer
The “loneliness economy” is growing, but who benefits when we feel more isolated? In this episode, we explore the important difference between choosing to be alone and experiencing loneliness, and how businesses, apps, algorithms, and gamified platforms can profit from keeping us constantly engaged. We also unpack what digital connection can’t replace: meaningful, real-world relationships. From recognizing unhealthy engagement loops to finding practical ways to create stronger connections in everyday life, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at loneliness in the digital age and what we can do about it. Watch the full episode for a deeper conversation about technology, isolation, and the value of genuine human connection. Follow us on Instagram: @women_talkfinance | Spotify & Apple Podcasts: WTF!
