moving to a new state

Moving out of Maine can be an exciting, but also a daunting experience. Whether you're relocating for a new job, to be closer to family, or just for a change of scenery, there are several things to consider before making the move. Here are some tips to help you make a smooth transition.

Plan ahead: Moving out of state requires careful planning, so start preparing as early as possible. Make a checklist of everything you need to do, such as cancelling your utilities, notifying your bank and credit card companies of your new address, and forwarding your mail.

Research your new location: Before you move, research your new location to get a sense of the area. Check out local schools, hospitals, and grocery stores. Look into the cost of living and local job opportunities. This will help you get a better sense of what to expect when you arrive.

Find a reputable moving company: A reputable moving company can help make your move as stress-free as possible. Do your research and get quotes from several moving companies before choosing one. Make sure they are licensed and insured, and check their reviews online.

Declutter and downsize: Moving is the perfect opportunity to declutter and downsize. Get rid of anything you no longer need or want. Donate, sell, or give away items you don't plan on taking with you. This will make your move easier and also help you start fresh in your new location.

Pack carefully: When packing, label boxes clearly and pack fragile items with extra care. Use bubble wrap, packing peanuts, or other materials to protect delicate items during transport.

Say goodbye to friends and family: Moving can be emotional, especially when leaving behind friends and family. Take the time to say goodbye and make arrangements to keep in touch. Social media and video conferencing make it easier than ever to stay connected.

Enjoy the journey: Moving can be stressful, but it can also be a great adventure. Take time to enjoy the journey, whether that means stopping at roadside attractions or exploring new towns along the way.

Moving out of Maine can be a big change, but with careful planning and preparation, it can also be an exciting new chapter in your life. Good luck on your move!

Life is better with good friends, but making friends as an adult is quite different than when we were children, especially during a time of global isolation like COVID. So how do we make new friends as an adult? Renee Goble and Aarin Spiegelman join Jill for an open and honest conversation about the challenges and opportunities that come with expanding your inner circle in today’s environment, including tips and real life experiences on how to start a conversation, how to gauge energetically if it's a right match, and how to be a good friend to your new friend.

As an adult, we have so much less time: we have jobs, partners, children, and growing responsibilities. With such limited time, when you make time for friendships, you have to be selective and intentional - even more so now during these times of social distancing and isolation. But there’s still hope! In this episode, you’ll learn how to navigate this new landscape and explore ways to expand your circle of friends, even during COVID.
