Community isn’t just a social buzzword — it’s essential for life on Earth. In this episode of The Natural Animal podcast, I explore why we humans need to belong as much as we need oxygen and how animals — from wolves and elephants to dolphins, birds, and honeybees — form complex societies of their own.
I share stories of the deep relationships I’ve built with clients, the science behind our drive for connection, and why big platforms like Facebook groups often feel too noisy for real depth. I also talk about the Animal Lovers Tribe, the quiet, heart-centered space I created for people who love animals and want to care for them naturally.
Join me as I look at the psychology and biology of community and reflect on how humans and animals alike thrive when we come together.
