Finding the best taco joint in town or getting to know the local sweet spots doesn’t happen overnight. In this episode, we share our experiences moving to new places and embarking on new adventures. Just like reading a book, we discuss how diving in and avoiding preemptive judgments is key. Find out how long we feel it takes to truly get acquainted with a new community! 

To help us with this topic, we’ve brought in a special guest who has moved 8 times in 15 years! Rebecca Alwine is a writer, editor, mother of 3 and a military spouse. She shares her advice for getting settled in a new home, building a network and asking for help. Did you know on average, military families move every 2-3 years?

This episode is full of ideas for building community so that you can thrive in your new home or next adventure. And, for those of you who like staying put, get insight on how you can be part of the welcoming committee.
