This clip is taken from my guest interview with former Blue Peter presenter Konnie Huq, first released in August 2020.&nbsp;Konnie speaks about the sustaining power of having 'anchors' – close friends and family whom you know are at the end of the phone –&nbsp;and how this prevents loneliness, even when you are alone.

Introducing... The Shoulds

Alonement is a podcast about the positive side of spending time alone. When being alone isn't lonely, it's alonement: finding joy and value in solitude. Each week, host Francesca Specter asks a new guest about the time they spend by themselves –&nbsp;and why it matters to them. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
