As a lifelong introvert and self-described loner, I spent many years avoiding groups after early experiences with rejection and pressure to conform. In this episode, I share how my relationship with groups has evolved—and how thoughtfully chosen, purpose-driven communities have unexpectedly enriched my life. From women’s business networking and meaningful collaborations to the powerful learning that happens in online course communities, this episode explores how connection doesn’t have to compromise independence. If you value growth but prefer going it alone, this conversation may gently challenge—and encourage—you.

After a year of nonstop business focus, I finally picked up a tool I bought ages ago—my Dremel—and rediscovered the joy of creating. In this episode, I share the journey of returning to my jewelry-making hobby, how unexpected downtime turned into a creative revival, and why I'm choosing to make this summer about pleasure, presence, and personal joy. If you've been buried in to-dos and missing what lights you up, this one's for you.
