Episode 49: Where Phones Rest and Friendships Start

Welcome to F*N Fridays with Francine—the show for powerhouse women who are done with overthinking and ready for aligned action. Each week, we keep it real with honest conversations, practical takeaways, and a blend of strategy + soul to help you break free from busyness, find your clarity, and build a life (and business) that feels good. Grab your drink, get comfy, and let’s dive in.

GUEST BIO: Hannah Corbett is a community builder, entrepreneur, and advocate for genuine human connection. She is the founder of Presence&Co, a modern third place just outside of Boston designed to help people step away from digital distractions, reconnect with themselves, and build meaningful connection in an increasingly disconnected world. Before launching her own business, Hannah spent a decade working inside traditional healthcare — focused on operations, partnerships, and strategy — trying to help fix a system that so often falls short of supporting humans as whole people. Her personal journey through burnout, healing, and intentional living inspires her work every day. Today, Hannah is passionate about creating spaces and experiences that support whole-person well-being, promote health literacy, and help people reconnect with what matters most. Through Presence&Co, she is building a modern, screen-free social club where adults can make new friends, share real conversations, and build meaningful lives without the pressure of devices or alcohol. The club’s intentional gatherings and experiences are rooted in the eight dimensions of well-being, helping people slow down, connect, and find joy beyond the noise of daily life.

SHOW NOTES

This episode explores building real-world connection in a hyper-distracted world. We unpack the idea of a “third place” (a space that isn’t home or work) to make adult friendships easier, why it can take 80–100 hours to truly know someone, and how vulnerability is the bridge. We talk digital boundaries (hello, phone lockers), alcohol-free social spaces, and practical ways to reduce busyness-as-numbing while regulating your nervous system. You’ll hear simple, doable shifts—device-free windows, scheduled community, curiosity lists, and “just say thank you” receiving practices—that help you move from overthinking to aligned action. If you’ve been craving belonging, clarity, and more presence, this conversation gives you both the why and the how.
