After college, I moved to Chicago with my best friend to start fresh. It was an exciting new chapter, but also a daunting one. I didn’t have a built-in support system and had to rebuild my community from scratch—new job, new friends, new everything. It wasn’t easy, especially since my friendships from college weren’t as supportive as I had hoped. I learned the hard way that creating a strong social circle takes intention and effort, but it was worth it. Fast forward to becoming a mom in 2024, and once again, I was faced with the challenge of rebuilding my community, but this time, as a parent. I had to find other moms to connect with, navigate the challenges of new parenthood, and still maintain my friendships. Through these transitions, I realized that it’s not about having a large number of relationships, but having quality connections that support you through life’s changes. If you’re feeling lost or overwhelmed in your own transition, whether it’s moving to a new city or becoming a new parent, I’d love to share my journey and help guide you through the process of finding your people and building the support system you deserve.
