Being Fuerte. It’s Time to Speak!
The Importance of a Strong Community
Sometimes we pride ourselves on our individualism and ability to stand on our own, which is definitely a product of Western culture. However, in my life, community support has been an essential ingredient for success. Every time I've stretched into uncharted territory- whether it was working out, starting a business, or parenting- I have leaned heavily on my tribe. They have always been there to listen, commiserate, laugh, and sometimes share advice; every person has been a vital piece of not feeling alone. Through these relationships, I have learned essential emotional tools that help me be a better friend, business person, partner, and mother.
We know that we are wired for connection, and that belonging is a basic human need. So embrace your community, lean on each other for support, and do the work to nurture those relationships that bring beauty and meaning to your life.
I hope you listen to this podcast and see yourself in it. Because some of you have become those family and friends I am talking about.
