Hi besties, when was the last time you made a new friend in the wild? We’ll go first: It’s been a long while for both of us. This episode we're getting honest about community: what it actually means, why it's so much harder to build as an adult, and why some of us would rather homebody than put ourselves out there. Viv spent months at a ceramics studio without saying hi to a single person 👀 Ro shares how motherhood made her retreat inward before she could let anyone back in. We talk about the "great separations" that happen every time life shifts—and a lesson from The Little Prince that reframed everything: you become responsible forever for what you've tamed 🦊 If you've been craving deeper connection but don't know where to start, this one's for you 🫂 ☎️ HUGS HOTLINE: Got a juicy question yourself?
