A simple path to a more deeply connected life

You want more. You want to belong to a community that looks out for each other. You believe in your bones we don''t have to live detached, distracted, and divided. The question is, How? Shannan Martin invites you into deeper connection through simple resets, such as

· Open Door > Perfect Décor.

We invite others in, seeking to connect, not impress.
· Familiar > Fussy. We serve tacos and pizza like the feasts they are, because fancy is overrated.
· Tender > Tough. We greet the world with our hearts exposed and our guards down.

Packed with street-level practices and real-talk storytelling, Start with Hello is your field guide for a life of security, camaraderie, and joy.

There is no step too small.
