What if making new friends didn’t feel awkward—but joyful? This week on Wander Lounge, Ariel sits down with Liv Schreiber, a creative entrepreneur redefining what it means to build authentic connection in adulthood. As the visionary behind Hot and Social and Camp Social, Liv is turning social spaces into soulful ones, crafting intentional experiences where community thrives and fun comes first.

From lakeside journaling and water sports to wine nights under the stars, Camp Social is a retreat designed for women and nonbinary folks craving meaningful friendships and playful reconnection. Liv shares how she grew a simple idea into a movement, why adult friendships deserve celebration, and how loneliness can be replaced with laughter, presence, and sisterhood.

In this episode, we explore:

• The inspiration behind Hot and Social
• How Camp Social creates space for real connection
• The power of joy, intention, and nostalgia in adult friendships
• Why it’s okay to seek new community (at any age)

Whether you're craving deeper connection or dreaming of starting your own community—this episode will inspire you to make friendship a fun priority.
