In this heartfelt and hilarious episode, Tiel gets real about the highs and humbling moments of making friends in a new city—specifically, Paris. From awkward coffee shop convos to Pilates classes taught entirely in French (merci for the trauma), she shares how being open, consistent, and a little delusional helped her build a chosen family abroad.
Spoiler: most of her closest friends weren’t even from Paris—they were from all over Europe, and somehow, it just clicked. Tune in as she unpacks what it means to "date" your way into new friendships, how connection goes beyond language, and why letting go of perfection led to something way more magical.
If you’ve ever felt lonely in a new city, craved deeper friendships, or wondered if you’d ever find your people—this episode is for you.
