In this deeply reflective solo episode of the Wealth Witches Podcast, host Katelyn Magnuson opens up about the heaviness of the world right now and how she’s navigating it through community, connection, and choosing presence over perfection.

She shares her personal struggles living in a politically mismatched area, the loneliness that can come from feeling disconnected from her local community, and how she’s intentionally rebuilding, both locally and long-distance.

From planning batch cooking days with friends to romanticizing errands as quality time, Katelyn walks through what real, sustainable community looks like and how we can lean into it without falling into toxic hustle culture. This episode is also a powerful invitation to reject isolation and rediscover joy, even when the world feels overwhelming.

If you’ve been craving authentic friendships, value-aligned conversations, and deeper roots, this one’s for you.

Key Takeaways

• Community isn’t just about friends; it’s about shared values, mutual support, and showing up.
• Even errands, brunch, or cooking can be powerful ways to nurture relationships.
• Long-distance friendships can thrive with intention.
• Consistent small gestures matter more than grand meetups.
• Local connection takes effort, especially in places that don’t align with your identity or values.
• In a world full of burnout and injustice, choosing joy, rest, and community is a radical act of resistance.
