Santiago Paredes is a friend, inspiration, and leader. After traveling across the country with him, I decided we needed to run it back and reflect on his one-year anniversary of living in a new city.
This is a helpful episode because we answer the question: how do I make friends when I move to a new city? Moving is one of the biggest causes of loneliness, we move away from our social support and they're we're faced with the daunting task of creating a new network.
Sure, we can call our people back at home, but what about all the people all around us? How do we get to connect with them? Great question...
In this episode you can expect to hear:
- how to build community after moving away
- a social checklist of things to do after you move in
- why it's okay if your social health isn't 100%
- how to create a culture of vulnerability in your relationship
- whether you should talk about your sexual past in a new relationship
- how it feels to navigate divorce
- why gossiping is so fun yet not good
- what it means to cover as a leader
- and why everyone should listen to episode #17
If you just moved to a new city, don't get overwhelmed. Before you know it, you'll be able to name the cities, restaurants, and neighbors. Take it day by day, and focus on showing up to as many things as you can. Comfort zones are cool and all but sometimes they need to be pushed. And I think establishing yourself socially in a new city is one of those times.
