E01: Beyond Self-Help - Real Loneliness Solutions

Welcome to The Loneliness Industry podcast, where we challenge the narratives surrounding loneliness and the so-called “solutions” that don’t work. I’m your host, Jordan Reyne, and in this first episode, I share how I came to be doing this. It's my response to experiencing loneliness and the well-meaning bad advice that self-help and self improvement salespeople pitch. This podcast isn’t about telling you to just "love yourself" or think positively. I know that doesn't fix the problem. Instead, we’ll explore how loneliness is a systemic issue, not a personal failing, and dive deep into how our society’s obsession with individualism isolates us while offering false solutions. Join me as we unravel the myths and open the door to real, meaningful connection. If you're tired of the loneliness cycle and want to understand what’s really going on, you’re in the right place.
