Don’t Be Strangers ✨☺️ is a podcast and social experiment for learning to create meaningful connections together via collaborative conversations! Statistics show that (1) social isolation is on the rise and (2) the number of close friends someone would say that they have is decreasing. Considering that having a strong social network is one of the key factor in general happiness, overall health, and prolonged longevity, my hope is that this podcast will serve to bring awareness to the issue as well as provide a platform to start solving the problem, together!

Customer Reviews
So good!!🥹
Love this podcast! How wonderful for the creator to create a platform for everyone to connect with others and get to know the lives of other beautiful humans 🥰
Meaningful Connections
Very relateable and fun to hear these conversations. It’s like I am at a slumber party hangout. 🛌
Raw & Honest
What I always appreciate about listening to Xinyi is her ability to remain candid and honest. Tune in to a podcast that genuinely reflects life, unsugarcoated.
