You’re not alone in feeling lonely! As of 2023, 25% of young Australians aged 15-24 say they feel lonely, and honestly, in reality it feels like that stat should be a lot higher.

This is the first episode where we will be tackling the big topic of connection, and ask the question, why are we struggling to find and make meaningful connections and relationships with each other, and what can we do to change it?

In this episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with super connector and founder, Teale, who is the brains behind Lunar Love Club!

Lunar Love Club is a social club creating authentic spaces for young people to connect with each other, and since their inception 18 months ago, they’ve amassed over 25,000 followers completely organically, and consistently sell out their events.

As someone who has spent a lot of time exploring and discovering new ways to help people connect with each other meaningful ways, Teale and I chat about:

• why it’s normal to feel nervous or anxious when making new connections and how you can shift your mindset to make it easier
• what is a third space and why you need one in your life
• practical steps you can take in your personal life to improve the connections you have with other people around you, and why it’s so important to be intentional about connecting with other people
• how social media has warped the way that we connect with each other, in good and bad ways
• how the simplest things make the biggest difference when it comes to forming new relationships with other people and the power we have to have a positive impact on other people by intentionally connecting
• the many iterations and experiments Teale has conducted with Lunar Love Club to make connecting easier and more fun
