Ever feel like you're doing life on your own—even when surrounded by people? You're not alone. The truth is, many of us are craving real connection: the kind that fuels growth, holds space for our authenticity, and reminds us of who we truly are.
In this post, we’ll explore the power of finding and building your tribe: a soul-aligned group of humans who inspire, challenge, and uplift you. Whether you’re starting from scratch or wanting to deepen your existing circles, you’ll find tools, ideas, and inspiration to help you grow your community and your confidence.
Why Your Tribe Matters More Than You Think
A tribe isn’t just a buzzword—it’s a lifeline. It’s the group that helps you expand your potential, stay grounded, and thrive emotionally, spiritually, and even professionally. Here’s why it’s essential:
-
Social connection is one of the most powerful predictors of well-being and success.
-
A supportive network offers accountability, resilience, and motivation.
-
Having multiple tribes for different aspects of your life helps you stay aligned and well-rounded.
As an expat who once arrived in a foreign country with zero connections, I know how hard (and worth it!) it is to build a community from the ground up. I’ve since built multiple tribes—for friendship, business, wellness, and growth. You can too.
How to Create & Strengthen Your Tribe
Here are a few actionable steps to start building or deepening your connections:
-
Go online with intention: Join groups, follow aligned creators, and message people with shared values.
-
Join in-person spaces: Try fitness classes, workshops, or meetups centered around your passions.
-
Put yourself out there: Be bold in reaching out. Yes, it’s vulnerable—but it’s also how magic happens.
-
Be honest & low-pressure: Make your intention clear and allow the other person space to respond without pressure.

Why You Need More Than One Tribe
We’re multi-dimensional beings, and our communities should reflect that. I personally have:
-
A “friend tribe” for joy, fun, and life support
-
A “work tribe” for collaboration and career growth
-
A “wellness tribe” (like Be Sharp) for spiritual and personal expansion
-
A “family tribe” for grounding and legacy
You don’t need to limit yourself to one space. Instead, lean into different communities for different seasons and purposes. Want proof? Watch this TED Talk by Seth Godin on why tribes shape the future.
