You were not meant to do life alone.

If you’ve been feeling lonely, burned out, or like you’re floating on your own little boat in the middle of the ocean… this episode is for you. 🌊💛

In this episode of Taking Flight with Megan Holly, we dive into how to find your people, build a support system, and create a community that actually FEELS good—not surface-level, but soul-level.

Megan shares real-life stories about navigating hard seasons, medical anxiety with her dog, and shifting from autopilot into intentional, honest connection with friends, family, clients, and online community. You’ll learn how to attract the right people, deepen the relationships you already have, and stop dimming your energy just to fit in.

Whether you already have a core group or you feel like you’re on that lonely boat right now, this conversation will help you create connection, not just crave it.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why you weren’t meant to do life alone
• How community and connection actually create more confidence
• What it means to be truly witnessed by others in everyday life
• The difference between living on autopilot vs living intentionally with your people
• How honest communication can strengthen your relationships (even in hard seasons)
• Letting yourself be fully you—quirks, big feelings, and all—and letting the right people stay
• Why your “weird” or tender parts are actually magnets for your true tribe
• How your friends, partner, or community can help prevent burnout
• The “initiation rule”: being the one who reaches out instead of waiting
• Practical ideas for finding new friends and community as an adult

Reflection questions:

• Am I attracting or deflecting deeper connection in my daily life?
• Where have I gone on autopilot in my friendships, relationship, or community?
• Who already feels like a safe person… and how can I go one layer deeper with them?
• Where could I be the initiator—the one who sends the text, starts the convo, or invites the hangout?

Try this simple connection challenge:

This week, pick ONE of these:

• Text a friend: “Hey, if you’re up for it, can we chat sometime this week?”
• Compliment a stranger or coworker and see where the conversation goes
• Join a class, event, or local meetup that lights you up
• Tag someone who makes your life brighter and tell them why

Tiny actions build big, beautiful tribes. 💫
