I've been taking the approach of catching and releasing friends. This approach fosters a healthier perspective on social interactions and friendships: 1. Acceptance of Change: Acknowledging that people grow and change, and so do their relationships. This acceptance can reduce feelings of disappointment or rejection when a friendship doesn't develop as hoped or when a once-close friend drifts away. 2. Living in the Moment: By focusing on the gratitude for the connection while it lasted, you appreciate the present moments without overly fixating on the future of the relationship. This can lead to more genuine and fulfilling interactions. 3. Openness to Future Possibilities: Understanding that releasing someone from your immediate circle doesn't mean forever closing the door on that relationship. Paths may cross again in the future, and the connection could be rekindled or take a different form. 4. Personal Growth and Well-being: It prioritizes your emotional well-being by recognizing when it's time to move on from a relationship that no longer serves you. This can free up emotional energy to invest in friendships that are reciprocal and fulfilling. 5. Quality Over Quantity: It shifts the focus from trying to hold onto every acquaintance to cherishing those friendships that are truly meaningful and mutually beneficial.

I feel you completely, I'm 40 and I've been living in Canada for 4 years and I'm still struggling to make friends, as an introverted person without kids and a pet, making friends can be really hard. I totally agree with your ideas about this subject

Hola, llevo el mismo tiempo aqui en Canada, Ontario, tengo 33 y es un gran desafio el hacer amistades, no es lo mismo.

Another great episode! Making friends can be a more complex process when you're older. However, many elderly people develop meaningful and satisfying friendships even in their advanced years. The experience and maturity gained over the years can facilitate the development of deeper and more meaningful relationships. It's always just a damn matter of mindset, isn't it? 😅

I feel you 100% I love how you show all transparent and “vulnerable” it’s part of the process. I’ve mastered my English with you like a year ago, of course it’s an everyday job experience but now after being for 2 years in the US I feel much better and comfortable with myself and my English, so you’ll get to that point as well, I’m 100% positive about it. If you ever need help or guidance with your Spanish let me know, I’d be happy to help ❤

Bueno silencio pues que ya empezó mi novela!!! 😍🥰

It's delightful how each video reveals a new layer of your personality, Hadar. In this episode, I see your creativity in forging connections, broadening your professional horizons, and your nurturing spirit as a loving mom, creating a cozy haven for your daughters where they learn the beauty of embracing life's moments. May your aspirations manifest swiftly. Cheering you along the way! 😊

Hi Hadar! You’re not only an amazing English teacher but also you’re a great person who explains genuinely all her feelings about the relocation, trying to have new friends, plans in this new country, all your excitement and everything :) I’ve been through the same experience for the last 2 years. I started to live in the USA. I can understand how you feel about this. Gladly, you started this business and I found you :)

Thank you Hadar for this awesome episode, I wish you all the best for you and your family❤give you a big hug💞

Thank you for talking so candidly about the innumerable obstacles to overcome when transitioning to a life in another country. It's a herculean undertaking. Stay brave and strong. Love.

Excelente. Muchas gracias por tus clases de inglés!

Hi Hadar, I'm so glad you and your family have the opportunity to face this new challenge. I've followed you for many, many years and I had the privilege of being your student in the very first round of New Sound, your fantastic signature program wich has definitely changed my life. Thank you.

You help a lot of people who struggle day by day in the learning process of a foreign language, especially in a foreign country. I totally agree with the steps you mentioned to achieve goals; it is very important to have small wins in this journey. Thank you for sharing your challenges with us. Good luck always.

Hola Hadar, Me encanta oirte ,aprendo mucho de tu Pronunciacion. Se que pronto vas a poder hablar bien El Espanol. y tendras muchos amigos Hispanos. Tienes Angel. Para conectar con la gente. Dios te Bendiga Siempre. SHALOM!! PD. Soy tu Amiga Virtual.

I love so much how you think and speak, your videos are SO interesting. Your future spanish friends, how lucky they are!🍀🥰

The last friend I met was on line, because of the new sound fall 2023 group, I search a one-on-one partner and I met Elena who I can call my friend now ❤ so thank you Hadar for your program and this podcast about your relocation journey. Keep going, you're on your way, and it's the best for you 😘

Once you pick up some Spanish, you're bound to make Hispanic friends. We generally tend to be quite easygoing and easy to get along with.

Don't regret Hadar! You made a great decision. A & A will become leaders. They just need some time.. specially the older one I guess. Enjoy your weekend and Easter week with your family. Looking forward to meeting you on June the 1st 😊

Tan linda, Hadar... Te brillan los ojos cuando hablas de tus hijas! Felicitaciones por tu esfuerzo que pronto se reflejará en logros. Vivo en Argentina y acá tienes una amiga con quien hablar español. Cariños para vos (para ti) y toda tu familia. 😍

there always have something new we have to learn

Hey Hadar! Thank you so much for sharing this rich experience. Every new environment you get in imposes a new lifestyle to fit in. It demands extra energy, skill, strategy, or approach. But you being a teacher and influencer, an international figure by nature will soon have things under control. Give it a bit more time. Stay blessed.

Hello Hadar 👋 I’ve been following for years, I think I was actually the first person who congratulated you on your podcast when you started it and you replied to my comment 😅 Anyway, I rarely comment on videos but I had to take the time to tell you that I LOVE this new Relocation Diaries and how honest & real you are at all times. You have no idea about the impact you’ve created in my life over the course of this years, I admire everything about you & you inspire me sooooo much ♥ THANK YOU !!! (And greetings from a Mexican living in Canada, I’ve been the same amount of time here that you have in Spain coincidentally😅)

@hadar.shemesh OMG! Hadar remembers me 🥲 There’s no need to say thanks sweetie :) This is the least I can do in return after all the time & effort that you dedicate to create your content (Because I know it’s not easy) And I’d like to clear out that your new Relocation Diaries IS RELEVANT, USEFUL & RELATABLE; even entertaining! ✨ When we in life have to move to another country it probably becomes the hardest thing we did/to do in our entire lives, and the actual moving is just the beginning & also the hardest part… but it gets better afterwards, and it’s all worth it. You’ll thrive once again Hadar ♥ I can see it already, you can do anything. Love girl 😘 & all the best 🍀🍀 🍀

No creo que vayas a tener problemas en hacer nuevas amistades. ¡Buena suerte en esta nueva aventura!😊👍

When we moved to another country very different than we have it’s hard to find friends but when as time passes friends become a large number. You’re doing well, you’re an amazing person and you have an amazing family, Everything will be okey in Spain.

Go Hadar! Thanks for sharing! I think you don't need a piece of advice, but you have a large community here offering some support. 💛💛💛

My Hadar, in the " Making Friends class", I have learned a lot . I also want to say that When you start the class you arrive walking with elegance and very glamorous hair , you have beautiful curly hair . Sincerely , Edgar😍

Since you moved to Spain, I like your videos even more than before, cause I spend half an hour hearing to you and that time seems short to me, and I practice my hearing english skills that way. Yo vivo en Badajoz, a más de mil kms. de Barcelona, así que no puedo ser tu amigo, pero me gustaría. I wish you to be happy here. See U next friday.

I'm 57 years old and what you are saying is so similar to my experience as well. It is so relatable.

Hola Hadar estoy segura que pronto hablaras Español . Saludos desde El Salvador. Cuando quieras visitar nuestro país de vacaciones, te esperamos! Y también si quieres practicar Español aquí estamos. Lov u❤

Thank you!

Wow Hadar!!! so many novoties! Y'know everything is new for you right now and our nature our biology need safeness, safety is a powerful driver for us human being, that aspect make us survive for thousands of years long. So I would like to bring up one intresting cientific fact and this is: When we approach self chenges or self development we usually get stuck cuz our environment remind us all the time about our old self-version, so knowing that, you have a nice window of opportunity. Don't hurry up to fulfili you walls, let a total new Hadar come out, cuz in other hand you will bring your old life to a new county. So my friend I am really enjoing this new format of podcast. That helps me a lot in my own jorney, really! I wish you the best and I can not wait for the next one...One big Hi from São Paulo Brazil, Take care and Peace!!!!!!

​@@hadar.shemeshI'm native speaker Spanish. Teacher if you want you can watch Spanish movies that you watched in English before is a easy way to learn. Spanish people can be more close than Latin American people. If you would travel Mexico or Panama.

​@@hadar.shemesh I mean, there are a lot Spanish people friendly and very interesting people. I would like your interaction with Spanish people will be without any afraid. You're a wonderful person that someone would like to speak. 😊

I came back to The InFluency podcast in KZread. I follow it every weeks.

I've read this phrase in spanish and I thought that you would love it. It's about the importance of your thoughts: “«Ha sido establecido científicamente, que el abejorro no puede volar. Su cabeza es demasiado grande y sus alas demasiado pequeñas para sostener su cuerpo. Según las leyes aerodinámicas, sencillamente no puede volar. Pero nadie se lo ha dicho al abejorro. Así es que vuela».” ― Lorena Franco, La vida que no elegí

I moved a lot, I am always trying to make new friends. The best works for me it's Russian speaking community in different countries.

❤🙏

What would be like to live in Barcelona ?

Yes how about Rent prices in Spain Hadar are it reasonable,I want to spend some days perhaps in the future 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hi 🥰After you learn Spanish I 'll invite you A TOMAR MATE 😂in Argentina!!! thanks for sharing your experience!! In 2020 I had to move to another city and make new Friends !!

Well actually I’m in my 20’s yet, and I don’t really have a lot of friends, I don’t make friends that easily, which I don’t get along with anyone and everyone😅

مرحبا انا بحبك كتير

Para los niños es relativamente fácil empezar de nuevo en un lugar completamente diferente, pueden aprender el idioma con facilidad

it’s funny. I’m a 23 year old college student in US, been here for six months and I just cant make any friends whereas my mom has all these friends from all over the world at age 47. maybe its a luck thing lol

את ישראלית או שסתם קוראים לך הדר? אגב גיליתי אותך היום, כיף לדעת שיש לי אפשרות להפוך את המבטא הישראלי למשהו קצת יותר בהיר ומובן, תודה
