Community isn't just a nice-to-have. It's a life-changing, soul-nourishing, growth-accelerating gift.
Community isn't just a buzzword—it's a lifeline. In this episode of Encouragementology, Kendell Boysen, a professional life and recovery coach, dives into the importance of building, belonging, and blooming within a community. Kendell invites you to think about what 'community' means to you. Is it your neighbourhood, a group of friends, or something you’re still searching for? Even the most independent among us need to feel connected and supported.
As the popular song goes, 'People need people.' Kendell explores how having a strong community can act as a buffer against stress and mental health challenges. Studies show that loneliness can trigger chronic stress responses, while strong social connections can increase survival rates by 50%. Kendell shares her own experiences and those of others to illustrate the profound impact community can have on our lives. You'll hear stories of people who found their tribe and how it transformed their lives.
Kendell also offers practical advice on spotting toxic communities and how to build your own supportive network if you don’t have one yet. She emphasises that community is built one small action at a time, much like assembling a Lego set. Whether it’s joining a local club, attending community events, or simply chatting with neighbours, these small steps can lead to meaningful connections. Kendell’s warm and empathetic approach makes this episode both informative and heartwarming.
She reminds us that we don’t have to go it alone and that finding our tribe can be easier than we think. So, why not take the first step today? Surround yourself with people who lift you up, laugh at your bad jokes, and remind you to take out the trash. Because life’s too short to be lonely—let’s build something beautiful together.
