Hello, Hello!
Welcome Back to the Pod!
In this episode, I’m reflecting on the past year and what it means to build real connection as an adult—especially around the holidays. From the challenge of making new friends, to finding (and appreciating) your chosen family, to the unexpected chaos of someone almost BREAKING INTO MY APARTMENT mid-recording… we’re covering it all!
I also talk about the strange comfort of coming from the Inland Empire, how that shaped me, and the gratitude I feel while building my career and future here in Orange County. This one’s about community, loneliness, growth, and the messy, beautiful process of finding your people as you get older.
