How to Build Community and Make Friends Anywhere You Live

Bethany Roth is a military spouse who has mastered the art of building community no matter where life takes her. Since I'm a military spouse, too, we both dig into what it really means to create belonging in new places and why kindness is the foundation of any strong community. I hope this conversation leaves you feeling inspired to reach out, show up, and invest in the people around you. If you’re new here, I’m Shannon Leyko—host of the top-charting podcast (Paring Down)!
