Making Friends in a New City + Social We...

ALLISON WETIG AND CEARA KIRKPATRICK
About this episode

165: Continuing on with our 8 Dimensions of Wellness series, we have today’s topic: Social Wellness! This week we have on Ceara’s friend, Lindsay Hornecker, to talk all things moving to a new city, making new friends, friendships evolving, and more. Allison and Ceara also catch up in the intro about Ceara’s recent bachelorette trip to Puerto Rico, Allison’s update on her Airbnb hosting journey, a documentary being filmed outside Allison’s apartment and more. 


Takeaways from our Convo with Lindsay: 

  • Moving to a new city can be a unique and exciting adventure, but it can also be challenging to make new friends.
  • Finding a connector, someone who can introduce you to new people and help you expand your social circle can be a game-changer in making friends.
  • Friendships evolve, and it's important to invest in those who invest in you. Prioritize the friends who consistently show up and make an effort.
  • Joining clubs or groups centered around shared interests, such as running clubs, can be a great way to meet like-minded people and build new friendships.
