Turning 30 Podcast

Friendship, Loneliness, and Finding Joy Living Alone in Your 30s ft Kayla Kleinman


Listen Later

In this episode, I'm joined by Kayla Kleinman, content creator and New York City resident, for a heartfelt conversation about navigating life's transitions in your thirties.

We dive deep into:

  • Embracing the paradox of being single in your thirties - loving your independent life while still desiring partnership
  • How to create meaningful rituals when living alone that help combat loneliness
  • The reality of friendship evolution as we age - when friends move away, get married, or have children
  • Making new friends in your thirties and why it's often a slow burn rather than an instant connection
  • Finding joy in solo travel and maintaining independence within relationships
  • Kayla's second-chance love story with her now-fiancé after being together throughout her twenties
  • The shift from living alone to moving in with a partner (and tips for how to navigate it)

Kayla shares her experience of living alone for 14 years and how she transformed potential loneliness into self-discovery and independence. She offers practical advice on creating personal rituals (like her weekly "Sushi Thursday") that make alone time feel special rather than isolating.

If you're navigating friendship transitions, feeling the occasional sting of loneliness, or trying to build meaningful connections in your thirties, this conversation offers both validation and actionable insights.
