In our seventh conversation together, Tiffany Topel and I dive into the ideas from Ray Oldenburg's book The Great Good Place and Richard Kyte’s book Finding Your Third Place—and what it really means to discover a space beyond home and work where you feel truly alive. We explore why “third places” matter for our happiness, how to create meaningful community, and the small steps you can take to build deeper connections right where you are.

Whether your third place is a coffee shop, a hiking trail, a yoga studio, or simply the people who bring out your best self, this episode will inspire you to find (or reclaim) the spaces that feed your soul.
