How do you build a village when you're starting completely fresh in a new place?Executive coach Sylvana Rochet reveals the hidden art of making authentic adult friendships after relocating her family from Santa Cruz to Lyon, France. Why does she call her friendship-making "shameless"? Her powerful realization that expecting one person to fulfill every need nearly destroyed her first marriage led to a complete reframe. "I never want to put that kind of pressure on my spouse again," she shares. From housewarming parties to asking strangers for coffee, Sylvana's practical strategies go beyond typical parent networking. She introduces her "Three C's" framework - Clarity, Curiosity, and Courage - for navigating any major transition. Most profound insight?
