Community Helps You Live Longer

Every day I read articles about increased loneliness, depression, and anxiety. How do you find your community-people you can identify with and develop as friends? That’s where Creating Community can help. In each podcast I’ll introduce you to fun and engaging people in my community of Longmont, CO and I’ll show you what I’ve learned about creating community every time I was the new kid on the block moving around the country. Every place I’ve lived has taught me how to find the fun and magic in creating community.
