n this heartfelt solo episode, Naureen explores a deeply personal and universal theme—community. Sparked by conversations, interactions, and her own reflections while preparing to reopen her membership community for Q3, she takes us on a journey through isolation, belonging, and the healing power of human connection.
Naureen shares:
Her experience of fierce independence and the isolation it brought, especially during COVID
How loneliness during lockdown led to the birth of this very podcast
The value of family, friends, and even salsa as communities that brought joy and connection
Why she felt the absence of a professional community during her corporate career—and how it inspired her to create the Inspire Community
The evolution of her events from intimate roundtables to global gatherings
A call to action: show up, engage, and be visible in your community
Whether you find community in your family, your local café, a sports club, or your industry, this episode reminds us that we are not meant to do this alone.
🧭 Questions to reflect on:
Who or what is your community?
Where do you go to feel connected?
What will you do to create or nurture your own community?
