In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Koumakis, founder of Dear Community, to explore the power of connection and belonging. Together, we dive into the inspiration behind launching Dear Community and Hannah's passion for bringing people together in meaningful ways.

We discuss the pervasive issue of loneliness in our hyper-connected world and offer practical tips for prioritizing community in the midst of busyness and struggles. Hannah shares her own experiences with loneliness and vulnerability, offering wisdom and encouragement for those navigating similar feelings.

Join us as we discuss the importance of putting yourself out there, making new friends, and embracing vulnerability as a pathway to deeper connections. Whether you're seeking to overcome feelings of loneliness or longing to belong somewhere, this episode offers inspiration and guidance for building authentic community in every season of life. Your journey toward authentic community starts here!
