8 Implementable tips to find your people & handcraft your community.
If you are craving the deep-rooted soul community and friendships that are nourishing and true, I promise you that you are not alone.
In this modern world, we've never been more connected but we've also never been more apart. It can feel like everyone else has their girl gang, their tribe or their soul sisters on Instagram but you. I totally get it. Media distorts everything and you end up feeling like the lone wolf.
In this episode, I'm giving you eight implementable tips on how to find like-hearted people and craft authentic connections. I share everything from how to start a conversation with a stranger, to reaching out to a cool acquaintance that you want to get to know better, and how to take your existing relationships to the next level.
Building my community has taken years and lots of friend dates that didn't work and also hanging out with the wrong crowd to realize who my kind of people are instead. So, I'm giving you the steps today that I wish I had earlier on. Plus, in true Kelly Trach style, they are really different from what you normally hear and I felt like the lone wolf for years, so you'll totally resonate with this episode.
And lastly, I close with sharing the new project that I've created and something that is close to my heart and soul: The Inner Circle. I am so excited to share this with you today on the podcast, so download this episode and let's get going! Your soul tribe awaits.
