232: The Village Part 3: But How Do I Make Friends
Manage episode 490989527 series 3586021
Welcome to Part 3 of our Village series! In this episode, I’m getting super practical—because one of the biggest questions I keep hearing is “But HOW do I actually make friends?” We’re diving into what that really looks like (yes, even if you’re an introvert), how to find the people, why “jumping in” matters, and how to stop overthinking every interaction. Plus, I’m sharing tips for building connection in whatever stage of parenting you’re in—homeschooling, working outside the home, stay-at-home, or somewhere in between. This one is packed with real talk, actionable ideas, and a reminder that we all need this kind of connection to survive parenthood (and life). Tune in—you’ve got this!
