Have you ever planned your life a certain way — only to have unexpected circumstances completely change the course? Maybe you’ve dreamed of traveling, starting a family, or building your ideal future… and suddenly, a door closes. The path you imagined disappears. And you’re left with grief, doubt, and the quiet question: What now?

In this deeply personal, cozy podcast café episode, I share my story of one of those moments — how a literal closed road during a day trip in Switzerland became a powerful reminder for life. We’ll gently explore how to cope when life doesn’t go as planned, the grief that comes with letting go of old dreams (especially around infertility and life transitions), and how to start seeing unexpected detours as part of your new, beautiful story.

If you’ve ever faced disappointment, grief, or uncertainty — this episode is for you. You’re not alone in longing for answers, struggling with trust, or navigating the heartbreak of changed plans.

Let’s sit together for this honest conversation, and remind ourselves that sometimes, the closed path leads to places we never could’ve imagined — even if it takes time to see the beauty.

Have you ever longed for real, meaningful connections — yet felt like making friends as an adult is the hardest thing ever? Especially when you're in a new country, navigating life without children, and carrying the quiet fears and struggles that come with infertility? If yes, then this cozy café podcast episode might feel like a chat with an old friend. In today’s episode I want to talk openly about my struggle to make new, local friends as a childless introvert in my thirties, living in a new country. It’s raw, unfiltered, and probably, very relatable if you're also navigating loneliness or craving a deeper sense of belonging. I’ve been living in Alsace, France, for over a year now, and here’s the truth: I still haven’t made local friends. Not because I don’t want to — but because putting myself out there, as a sensitive, introverted woman dealing with infertility grief, feels overwhelming. Sound familiar? Maybe you're walking a similar path.

In this episode, I share:

• Why craving connection doesn’t always mean finding it’s easy, especially when you’re dealing with infertility, childlessness, or grief.

• The silent fears that hold me back

• The powerful insights I learned from books about vulnerability, belonging, and finding real community.

• 
  

This conversation is especially for you, if:

✨ You feel isolated in a new country, town, or phase of life.
✨ You’re childless (by choice or circumstance) and struggle to find your people.
✨ You’re an introvert craving deep, meaningful friendships — but small talk and big groups exhaust you.
✨ You’re navigating infertility, grief, or any life transition that makes connection feel harder.
✨ You long for honest conversations about belonging, courage, and building community as an adult.
