The Power of Community

Need a Boost? The Unexpected Joy of Showing Up

How do you feel after visiting with close friends or family? Does your heart feel full of love? Do you feel heard and that you have the love and support of people who have your back? This is the power of community, and its what lifts our spirits and fuels our souls.

What is Community?

Being a part of a community—a networking event, your local gym, or your favourite church —is a place that offers a sense of belonging, social connection, and support. All of this leads to an improved state of well-being and health that allows us to be our best selves.

Brazen Women 2025

I was fortunate to attend a women’s networking event a couple of weeks ago that filled my heart with love and encouragement. It was the annual Brazen Business Collective event that brings business and professional women together with the purpose of building community, knowledge and strength.

Am I Good Enough?

I’ve been wanting to go to this event for a few years but never bought a ticket because I felt like I didn’t belong. It wasn’t anyone telling me this, but my own self. Not this year—I broke free of my comfort zone and I did it—I went!

I stepped into a room filled with bold, driven, accepting women who are ready to connect, collaborate and elevate each other. It was inspiring and left me feeling empowered, unstoppable and ready to take action. Hallelujah!

Let’s Grow Together

When community comes together we grow and thrive. We all have those days where we feel like we’re not measuring up. I heard Sarah Masters’ mid-day show on UCB Radio yesterday and she was speaking directly to me! How did she know that I wasn’t feeling “my best”? She lifted my spirits and made me feel like I have my own little cheer-leading squad, my own crew, my own tribe—however you want to call it…it’s all good!

The Power is in Us

At the heart of it all, community reminds us that we’re not walking this journey alone. Whether it’s a networking event, a friendly voice on the radio, or a trusted circle of friends in faith—we draw strength, courage, and purpose from one another. So let’s keep showing up, lifting each other, and growing together. That’s where the true power lies.
