We often hear the phrase “it’s lonely at the top,” but what if that loneliness isn’t limited to executives, and something we all carry in different ways?

Rosie sits down with Nick Jonsson, the world’s leading voice on executive loneliness, to uncover why disconnection has become an epidemic and what we can do about it. Nick’s story is both raw and inspiring, as he opens up about his personal battle with isolation, burnout, and the turning point that reshaped his life.

Together, they explore why leaders hesitate to be vulnerable, how silence becomes dangerous, and why trust deepens when we ask for help. Most importantly, Nick shares his five practical steps for overcoming loneliness, tools that don’t just apply to executives, but to anyone navigating the pressures of modern life.

This conversation is a reminder that leadership is human, connection is essential, and none of us are meant to do it alone.

She reminds us that our real job is showing up with clarity, curiosity, and groundedness, not managing someone else’s emotional world. When we stop taking responsibility for reactions that aren’t ours, we open the door to more authenticity, more confidence, and more sparkle ✨
