Nat Chats: Navigating Loneliness & Making Friends As a 20-Something


Listen Later

Episode 184: Natalie is back on the mic this week for a beloved solo episode and is ready to get real (reel) about navigating life and loneliness. She unpacks why she’s been distant on social media, as well as her latest love affair with a binge-worthy series and how it inspired her to record this episode. She takes us on a friendship journey all the way back to her kindergarten days and opens up about her own struggles with maintaining and building relationships in her 20's. This episode is a relatable rant, as Natalie would say, filled with remedies for when the lonely feelings strike and a helpful guide to getting back out there—wherever that may be.
