I had a fascinating conversation with someone at an event recently (one of my favorite things is to strike up conversations with complete strangers), and we were discussing what we had witnessed over the last two and a half years with the pandemic. We talked about all of our favorite places initially shutting down, the stress we were under, and ultimately, how our healthy coping mechanisms have changed.
Even though most of the lockdowns and restrictions are gone, you may not be getting out and utilizing services and activities like you used to. I’m excited to dive more into how you can get back to connecting (or reconnecting) with your community, and everything that is going on there.
In today’s episode, I’m talking about:
-How you can start getting out of your house and begin learning about new businesses in your community (or those that have changed since the pandemic)
-Why you need to get out and reconnect with your friends and your community now, more than ever
-The importance of taking the time to learn about the people, businesses, and events going on in your community
You’re not meant to stay in the exact same place your whole life-things are going to look different now, compared to when you were 15 or 30 years old. You’re meant to evolve, and grow, and contribute to society (this doesn’t have to be scary either-it can actually be exciting).
You really can find so much joy when you get out into your community, and try new things (or things you used to enjoy doing, but haven’t in awhile). I hope you choose to get out of your comfort zone a bit, and get more connected with your community, the wonderful people there, and the fun things going on-I know you won’t regret it!

Intentionally Disturbing
Join me on this podcast as I navigate the murky waters of human behavior, current events, and personal anecdotes through in-depth interviews with incredible people—all served with a generous helping of sarcasm and satire. After years as a forensic and clinical psychologist, I offer a unique interview style and a low tolerance for bullshit, quickly steering conversations toward depth and darkness. I honor the seriousness while also appreciating wit. I’m your guide through the twisted labyrinth of the human psyche, armed with dark humor and biting wit.
