Why does being left out literally hurt?
In this powerful episode of NUGGETS, Pellegrino and Francois explore the deep human need for belonging — and what happens when it’s missing. Drawing on Brené Brown’s famous words, “In the absence of love and belonging, there is only suffering,” they break down the science, the psychology, and the lived experience of feeling left out, rejected, or invisible.
You’ll learn why the brain processes rejection like physical pain, how small relational signals (“You matter. We share a future.”) shape trust, and why belonging at work is more than culture — it’s a performance driver. From the Cyberball experiment to the loneliness epidemic, this episode reveals why connection isn’t a luxury… it’s survival.
Tune in and ask yourself:
How are you creating belonging where you lead? Where you live? And who around you needs the signal: “You matter”?
Because belonging isn’t soft — it’s human strength.
