In this episode, Karina and Maria take you back to 1905 and into the Thursday Night gatherings that formed the Bloomsbury Group — a small community that transformed art, literature, and even economics.

From Virginia Woolf’s courage to innovate to Vanessa Bell’s wild creativity, we explore how a supportive community fuels autonomy, creativity, resilience, and well-being.

You’ll learn the science behind why community is biologically essential — not just “nice to have” — and how isolation impacts your health, motivation, and creativity.

We also break down how to build the kind of meaningful community that helps you thrive.

And of course, we end with this week’s Tiny Experiment to help you take action.

Summary

We explore:

• The Bloomsbury Group’s Thursday gatherings
• Why community boosts creativity and well-being
• The health consequences of loneliness
• Dunbar’s number and why meaningful connections matter
• Vulnerability as a gateway to creativity
• How creative entrepreneurs can build the right kind of community
• 
  

And we introduce Ignite — a 12-week creative cohort designed for exactly this kind of support.
