This week on Minimalish, I’m joined by author and speaker Palak Dave for an honest and relatable conversation about something so many of us crave in adulthood—true connection and community.

Palak shares practical encouragement for building authentic friendships and creating spaces where people feel seen and welcomed. We talk about overcoming the fear of hosting, bringing authenticity into everyday gatherings, and finding joy in the simple, beautiful moments that make up real life.

She also shares her insight on how technology impacts our ability to connect, and how we can bring more intention and thoughtfulness into our relationships.

If you’ve been longing for deeper connections or want to create community right where you are, this episode will leave you inspired to start small and lead with intention.
