Choose Real Connection
Let’s be clear from the start: This is not social media. This is not about followers, likes, or curated highlight reels. This is about real connection with another human being.
The Social element is about showing up – physically, emotionally, authentically – in spaces where genuine connection happens. And there are so many amazing ways to connect within your community.
This element of SheBalance is incredibly important because we’re not meant to navigate life alone. We need each other. We need to be seen, heard, held by others who understand the journey.
It’s important to find a small group of women who share your desire for balance within their communities. Not hundreds of acquaintances. Not a massive online following. A small, real group of women you can sit with, laugh with, cry with, grow with.
Where do you find this? Churches. Yoga studios. Ballroom dancing with Maya. Volunteer organizations. Book clubs. Community gardens. Anywhere people gather with intention and openness.
These are spaces where we can come together and share our love for humanity and connection. Where we practice showing up as we are. Where we witness each other’s struggles and celebrations. Where we remember that we’re part of something larger than ourselves.
Social wellness is about quality, not quantity. It’s about depth, not breadth. It’s about creating and nurturing relationships that feed your soul and remind you that you belong – not to a social media platform, but to a community of real, breathing, imperfect, beautiful human beings.
That’s where true connection lives.
Why Social Balance Matters
Social balance isn’t about having a packed calendar or knowing everyone in town.
It’s about belonging.
It’s important to find a small group of women who share your desire for balance within their communities. Not hundreds of acquaintances. Not endless surface-level connections. A small, real group of women you can sit with, laugh with, cry with, and grow alongside.
When you have that kind of connection, everything else shifts:
Emotional resilience deepens
Stress softens
Perspective widens
Joy feels more accessible
Life feels more shared, less heavy
Social balance reminds us that we don’t have to carry everything by ourselves.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does “social balance” really mean?
ocial balance is about real connection with other human beings—not social media, not performance, not surface-level interaction. It’s about belonging. It’s about being seen, heard, and supported in spaces where you can show up as you are. Social balance asks for depth over quantity and presence over perfection.
Is this about being more social or outgoing?
Not at all. Social balance isn’t about being “good at people” or having a packed calendar. It’s about being present with people. Whether you’re introverted or extroverted, social balance looks like meaningful connection—not constant interaction.
Where does real connection actually happen?
Often much closer than you think.
Connection lives wherever people gather with intention and openness:
Churches
Yoga studios
Ballroom dancing with Maya
Volunteer organizations
Book clubs
Community gardens
Neighborhood gatherings
Anywhere people come together to share space, purpose, or curiosity can become a place of real connection.
These are spaces where we practice showing up as we are—not as we think we should be. Where we share our love for humanity. Where we witness one another’s struggles and celebrations. Where we remember that we are part of something larger than ourselves.
Do I need a big group of friends to be socially balanced?
No. In fact, social balance often comes from a small group—a few women who share your desire for balance, growth, and connection within their communities. Not hundreds of acquaintances. Just a handful of people you can laugh with, cry with, and grow alongside.
What does social balance look like in everyday life?
Social balance looks like:
Choosing depth over quantity in relationships
Finding spaces where you feel safe to be yourself
Building community through shared values, not performance
Allowing yourself to be supported—not just supportive
Showing up consistently, even imperfectly
It’s less about doing more and more about being real.
What if I don’t feel like I belong anywhere right now?
That’s okay—and you’re not alone.
This element isn’t about forcing connection. It’s about creating or discovering spaces where belonging can grow naturally. Sometimes that means joining something new. Sometimes it means deepening what’s already there. Sometimes it means being brave enough to show up imperfectly.
How does the Social Element support overall balance?
We are not meant to navigate life alone. When social connection is missing, everything feels heavier—emotionally, physically, spiritually. When it’s present, resilience grows. Perspective widens. Joy becomes more accessible.
Social balance reminds us that we don’t have to carry everything by ourselves.
