our purpose

In a world that often insists we navigate life’s biggest questions alone, No Small Talk offers a space to explore answers together—with others who are recalibrating their internal compasses.

This interactive group experience is an experiment in building relationships and reclaiming the lost art of meaningful conversation. Each season, we dive into a new theme, from work and relationships to play, rest, creativity, and beyond.

Founders Jennifer Pauline and Miriam bring their own journeys of cultivating meaningful connections—online and offline—into the heart of this experience. Both participants and guides, they lead with transparency, sharing their insights while holding space for collective discovery.

Jennifer brings her expertise in designing intentional, inclusive programming and spaces that centers Black, Queer, and POC communities. Miriam contributes her skill in sparking thought-provoking conversations through media.

Together, they thoughtfully craft every element of No Small Talk, from session structure, questions, content and partnerships, ensuring each gathering feels intentional and distinct.

This is more than a conversation club—it’s a reimagined approach to connection, designed to feel as purposeful as it is transformative.

Currently, we offer three ways to join our community. Through our in-person cohort currently based in Los Angeles, our digital cohort and our newsletter.
