S3EP10 | Family Beyond Blood: The Power of Connection & Chosen Family

What if family wasn’t just about who you’re related to—but who shows up for you?

In this episode of the podcast, my good friend Andrika and I dive deep into the power of connection and the beauty of chosen family. We talk about what it really means to “adopt” family from outside your bloodline and why community is essential to a meaningful life. 

Andrika is one of those rare souls who’s never met a stranger. She leads with love, pours into people, and intentionally builds community beyond her immediate relatives—reminding us just how vital human connection truly is. Together, we get real about boundaries, commitment, vulnerability, and why connection matters most when life feels heavy. 

Family—whether born or chosen—can be messy, complicated, and imperfect… but it can also be deeply beautiful, healing, and genuine.

This is an honest conversation about belonging and the truth that humans aren’t meant to do life alone. Whether your family is built by blood, by choice, or somewhere in between, this episode is a powerful reminder that connection isn’t optional—it’s essential for our lives and our souls.
