Episode notes

On the West Coast, you'll likely have no idea whether someone actually wants to hang out with you or they're just saying they want to. The East Coast way is like, "Let's just go for it" on a Saturday afternoon. If you don't want to spend time with someone, be honest about your needs and boundaries. And if there are other people in your life that you want to prioritize more, call it out a little bit.

Smiley offers practical habits and playful reminders on how to create meaningful connections, make new friends, and deepen relationships.
