The Me in the We: What Birds Teach Us about Becoming Part of a Community

In this episode of Powered by Joy Podcast, we explore a powerful lesson on community inspired by an unexpected encounter with nature. After witnessing a murmuration—a mesmerizing flock of birds moving in perfect harmony—I share a reflection on how this natural phenomenon mirrors our need for connection, especially in times of fear, division, and isolation.

We delve into the concept of "the me in the we," emphasizing how individual self-awareness and integrity contribute to the strength and unity of a group. Just as birds stay aligned by focusing on their seven closest companions, we too can find support and joy by nurturing close connections within our communities. Whether it’s for survival in chaotic, tough times or simply for the joy of shared experiences, community is where we thrive. Connected, not divided is how we are meant to be.

If you’re feeling disconnected or unsure of how to find your tribe, there are ways to gain insights into healing yourself first to foster authentic, meaningful relationships. Tune in to discover how nature’s wisdom can guide you toward deeper connection, joy, and support in your life.
