What does community actually mean when you’re grown, busy, and still figuring out who really sees you?

In this reflective and real second episode, I sit down with my good friend Quintonn—someone who’s become an unexpected but essential part of my core community—to unpack what community looks and feels like in adulthood. We talk about the difference between surface-level connection and the deep stuff, how COVID shifted everything we thought we had, and why some friendships feel like going through the motions, while others feel like home.

We also dive into:

• What we were taught about friendship vs. what we’ve learned the hard way
  

• The people who surprised us by showing up in ways we didn’t expect
  

• What it takes to actually build (or rebuild) real community as an adult
  

• Honest tips for creating connection without forcing it
  

Whether you’re searching for your people, rethinking who’s really in your corner, or wondering how to start again—it’s all here. This one’s for anyone who’s felt the difference between fitting in and truly belonging.
