In today’s episode, we’re diving into something so many of us crave but don’t always know how to create: authentic connection.
I’m sharing an honest look at my November freedom and aliveness experiment — what I intended, what actually happened, and what I’m learning about the real work it takes to build meaningful relationships as an adult.
We’ll explore:
✨ Why connection is a core part of our wellbeing
✨ How values-aligned relationships support your body, mind, and spirit
✨ What my November intentions were (meetups, reconnecting with old friends, dating with intention…)
✨ What got in the way, and why that matters
✨ What cultivating connection actually requires from us
✨ The “Life Council” concept and how it can help you build a supportive circle
✨ Simple ways to bring more authentic connection into your life this season
If you’ve been feeling a little disconnected, lonely, or stuck in surface-level relationships, this episode will give you insight, compassion, and some ideas you can put into practice right away.
