How she learned to embrace herself as a kid even though she felt she was always standing out.
How she manifested friendships that really allowed her to be herself. 
Why it's so important to leave room for spontaneity and get out of your routine if you're looking to expand your community or become a different version of yourself.
What led her to create the Goddess Council and bring people together in community.
Why everyone is lonelier than we realize. 
Why we need to get back to caring about other people's pain. 
How social media has made us forget that we are all human beings and her tips to get off line and into IRL.
Her top tips for hosting a get together. 
Why you have to push through the awkwardness of putting yourself out there (and off of your phone!) 
Why true friendship and a community you feel safe in won't happen until you really practice self love.
