In this episode I reflect on my conversation with Mika and Moriah from Episode 3. I focus primarily on the the following:

1. Vulnerability is an entryway (or a doorway) for deeper connection
2. How we can lean into vulnerability ourselves and invite others into deeper levels of vulnerability
3. Naming a few fears that sometimes pop up when we choose to be vulnerable.

I would love to hear some ways you are being intentional with your relationships! What's working for you? What fears are you facing?

I hope you enjoy with episode with my friends Moriah McLeod and Mika Harris. Our original intention was to discuss a book we were all reading but we ended up simply having a conversation about what community looks like for each of us in this season. I confess, we laughed a lot and I found the limits of my cheap microphone, so apologies for that. But if you can get through our silly banter and laughing spells I believe you’ll get some gems from today’s episode. Together we talk about the impact of community on vulnerable groups of people, how community looks different for everyone, how vulnerability unlocks community and so much more. If you make it to the end drop a comment letting us know what color you are today!

As always, I value your feedback and your own personal insights into what community looks like for you. So feel free to DM me, email me, take our community survey, send up a flare, do whatever you gotta do but please reach out!

On this episode, I reflect on the conversation that we had with Daniel and Marissa Zheng last episode. In particular I focus on Daniel's encouragement to not take rejection personally when you are building relationships with people. In my reflecting, I share some personal stories of failure and how those failures actually helped me to establish friends in my new city (eventually). At the very least, I hope that some of these stories make you laugh. Let me know if you can relate!

What out of the box things have you tried to make a friend? Did it work?
