The Third Space was born from a broken heart.

In March 2025, I experienced a sudden and painful breakup. Add in a layoff during the worst job market in modern history, friends dropping out of my life left and right, and just ongoing personal struggles, I was feeling alone. Isolated. Hopeless. So in that isolation, I made a TikTok video about attachment styles and how hard it is to go through an avoidant discard.

That seemed to resonate with a lot of folks. So I made more videos. And more. And more. Videos about attachment styles, about navigating heartbreak, about job loss, about friendship loss, about how to show up for yourself and others in as real a way as possible. About the messiness of the human experience when we actually allow ourselves to experience it. And what has happened since has been magical for me.

People have been showing up. Telling their stories. Connecting with me and each other in real and honest ways. And the common thread has been clear: we all want this. We all want intimacy, closeness, connection. Love, friendship, partnership. We want to tear down our walls and discard our fears and build the kind of relationships that sustain us through life. We want connection.

We want to feel human.

And I want to help facilitate that. I want to use what I’ve learned, what I’ve put out there, and what I want to see in the world to push that connection forward. Digitally, in-person, however we can get it; I want to build something that’s real, something that can last. I want to build it with everyone. And maybe through that build, we can find what we’ve all been trying to hold onto: each other.
