Ep. 611: The Value of Community and Connection

As we get older, we find ourselves looking back on our happiest memories and noticing that what makes them happy isn’t what we’re doing, but the people we’re with. Life can get monotonous, bogged down with the million-and-one little things we have to do to keep our lives running. That’s why it’s so important to keep in touch with loved ones—because without a community to share them with, our lives could pass us by. So we’re grateful for you, Bestie, and everyone else in our lives who make an effort to care about us, too, no matter how much time passes or how far away we get. Showing up for your people matters [1:23] Build your own community [5:22] Finding the bright spots in your own life [7:48] Make an effort to stay connected [12:58] Getting discerning about friendships [19:34] Way less fucks to give [26:19] Let people be there for you [28:44]
