The Power of Love and Belonging
As human beings, our need for connection is undeniable.
Maslow’s third level in his Hierarchy of Needs—Love and Belonging—emphasizes how vital meaningful relationships are for our emotional well-being.
Whether it's through family, friendships, or community, feeling accepted and valued is essential for thriving in both our personal and professional lives.
Having attended the HBA annual conference recently, I realized how often we overlook this basic need for belonging in our hectic, work-driven lives.
During the event, I reconnected with old friends, met new ones, and shared conversations that rekindled a sense of community I didn’t know I had missed.
In a world where we're constantly hustling—especially as solopreneurs or professionals—it’s far too easy to neglect the need for genuine connection.
For me, it was simple things: having a random lunch with a group of like-minded women, being introduced to someone new by a mutual friend, or simply hanging out for a cup of coffee.
It reminded me that these moments of belonging ground us in who we are. They help us to understand that no matter what we’re going through, we are not alone.
Connection is a fundamental part of our emotional health. Whether through your family, friends, or professional networks, make time to nurture those relationships.
The sense of belonging is not just about being surrounded by people—it’s about feeling seen, heard, and understood.
When we allow ourselves to engage with others, we create a support system that reminds us that we are part of something greater.
