How To!: Find Your People

Katie was ready to graduate from college when the pandemic
interrupted everything. Unceremoniously cut-off from her group of
friends, she’s now in a new chapter of her life but struggling more
than ever to find her people. Katie’s friendships at work feel
surface-level and she’s anxious about opening up too much for fear
of rejection. On this episode of How To!, host Carvell Wallace
brings in friendship coach Danielle Bayard Jackson. Don’t worry
about finding your next BFF, Jackson says. Instead if we focus on
making deeper, more lasting human connections with those around us,
genuine friendships will naturally occur. If you liked this
