How W+G Changemaker and author Anne Helen Petersen created a thriving online community for readers to connect in her Culture Study Substack.
In 2021, writer Anne Helen Petersen made a bold decision: She and her partner decided to move from Montana to Lummi Island, a nine-square-mile piece of land off the coast of Washington State only accessible by ferry. Sure, the location was pretty remote, and the closest big-box grocery store was a boat ride away. But thefor her move was what raised a few eyebrows: Petersen relocated so she could live near her best friend. Two additional friends followed suit and bought homes nearby soon after.
But as Petersen began to prioritize friendship more and more in her real life, she couldn’t stop thinking about what we lose by not making those relationships a pivotal part of our lives. “I'm a personal essayist at heart, and what's going on in my own life always influences what I'm writing and thinking about in the newsletter,” she says.that found people in their 30s and 40s have fewer close friends than people in their 60s.
As a result of her interest in friend support systems, Petersen recently announced she’s working on a new book,, which will aim to rethink friendship in today’s world. Tapping into her reader base, she’s begun to ask subscribers for their own stories of loneliness, connection, and friendship, from “cultivating intergenerational community” with people outside of your family, to moving back to your hometown and figuring out “what community looks like now.
