Lately I’ve been trying to say yes to more things: getting outside, trying new stuff, actually showing up instead of just thinking about it.
After moving to Miami, I’ve discovered this city has so many cool, random events happening all the time like yoga in the park, night markets, creative pop-ups. Half the fun is just seeing who you’ll meet or what vibe you’ll stumble into.
Moving to a new city can be overwhelming, and yes, it’s awkward to attend events alone. But honestly? What’s worse is staying home, doom scrolling, and hoping your social life builds itself.
Say Yes
I went to a free yoga class recently—solo—and it reminded me how important it is to just show up. I like to think I’m pretty social. I love building community and meeting new people, but I haven’t fully found “my people” in Miami yet. I know they’re out there. And the only way to find them is by going to events that reflect the things I care about.
Even if you don’t walk away with a new best friend, you leave feeling proud you went. And that’s a win.
Find Your Energy
If you’re also navigating life in a new city, here’s what’s been helping me:
- Go to events that match your energy—yoga, art, music, whatever resonates with you.
- Don’t overthink it—just show up.
- Say hi to one person.
- Then repeat the process.
Club Space
Speaking of showing up to unexpected places, I recently attended a yoga session at Club Space in Miami. Yes, you read that right—yoga in one of the city’s most iconic nightlife venues. Here’s what that experience was like:
Conclusion
The truth is, building genuine connections takes time after a major move. It’s not about collecting business cards or adding people on social media—it’s about finding those moments where you genuinely click with someone over shared interests or values.
Miami’s energy is infectious, and there’s something magnetic about this city that brings people together. Whether you’re into wellness, art, music, or just good vibes, there’s a community waiting for you to discover it.
