We’ve been told to embrace everyone, hold space for every idea, and expand our circles endlessly. But what if that’s not how humans are meant to connect? In this episode, we’re challenging the myth of universal belonging and exploring why smaller, intentional tribes create deeper, more meaningful relationships.
Discover the science behind Dunbar’s Number, how empathy collapses when our circles grow too large, and why saying no to the wrong connections is a radical act of self-care. This isn’t about shutting people out—it’s about protecting your energy, prioritizing alignment, and building a life that feels authentic and sustainable.
If you’ve ever felt drained by surface-level relationships or overwhelmed by the pressure to be everything to everyone, this episode is for you. Let’s redefine what it means to belong.
