In this episode, I explore one of the most powerful — and overlooked — human needs: belonging.
From the “Group 7” trend on social media to the deep loneliness many adults quietly carry, this episode looks at why we crave connection and how belonging directly impacts our physical and emotional health. (Spoiler: research shows that strong social bonds improve health as much as quitting smoking or regular exercise!)
We’ll talk about the difference between belonging and blending in, how to recognize loneliness as a signal rather than a flaw, and why true belonging always starts with self-acceptance. When you belong to yourself first, you can show up in any group — at work, at home, or online — with confidence and authenticity.
✨ If you’ve been feeling disconnected or unsure where you fit, this episode will help you come home to yourself.
I’m glad you are here,
Coach Betty
