Feeling lonely in a new city—or in your own life? You’re not alone. Loneliness is more dangerous than addiction, and yet so many people silently suffer. In this video, I’ll walk you through real, practical steps I used to build true, offline community—after immigrating to the U.S., starting over in my thirties, and healing from trauma.

You’ll learn:

How to find community without relying on social media

Where to meet people offline (even if you’re introverted, queer, or new in town)

How to move from isolation to connection—even during tough times like the pandemic

Why community bulletin boards, group fitness, and awkward hellos matter

How Radical Faeries, queer book clubs, and vulnerable friendships saved my life

This is more than a guide—it’s a survival story about the power of connection, healing, and chosen family.

If you’re ready to stop feeling isolated and start building belonging, this video is for you.
