23. How to Beat the Seattle Freeze and Build a Full Life

In this week’s episode, I sit down with artist and founder Tara Bhikha, who has been living in Seattle for the past three years, to unpack what it really means to build a life in the PNW. We dive into the infamous “Seattle Freeze,” moving with a partner, and the emotional ups and downs of starting over. Tara shares how she has navigated loneliness, growth, and connection in a place that can feel both beautiful and isolating. If you’re considering moving to Seattle, this conversation offers a raw and relatable look at the Seattle transplant experience.
