How to be a good community member

In this episode of Lessons from a Quitter, we dive into the power of community—why we crave it, why it’s messy, and why it’s worth it. We often expect connection to come easily, but true community requires effort, vulnerability, and a willingness to navigate discomfort. I break down the unrealistic expectations we place on relationships, how managing our mindset can help us avoid unnecessary resentment, and why showing up fully leads to deeper, more fulfilling connections. If you’ve been feeling lonely or disconnected, this episode will challenge you to rethink how you engage with the communities around you.
