Show Notes

Most of us have been there,  a part of a community but still wishing we had friends or felt more connected. Colby and Kayty moved to their current community 2 years ago and upon coming back they felt a longing for connection. In this episode Kayty will talk about what it looked like to create "group blind friend dates" with people she was meeting in community and how those relationships turned into her best friendships! 

In this episode, you will get actionable steps on: 
1: How to identify "friend attraction" and who to extend an invite to 
2: How to extend the invite. What to say/not say
3: How to plan an event that balances recreation & vulnerability 
4: Follow through: How to continue to grow the relationships 

Our hope through this episode is that you feel ready to extend the invite and confident that community is just an invitation away!
