We all like to think we’re cool, calm, and unbothered. And then... something actually matters. Cue the emotions. When you care — about people, ideas, goals — you risk feeling exposed. You want connection, but not the awkward part. Confidence, but not the second-guessing. Approval would be nice... criticism, not so much. But here’s the HuRU truth: If you’re feeling it, you’re probably doing something worth doing. Growth doesn’t happen in the “meh.” It happens when you lean in, get a little uncomfortable, and realize the messy middle is where the good stuff lives. So if things feel a little loud, tender, or weird right now, congrats! You’re human. And you’re in the game. Quick HuRU poll (no overthinking): Right now, how are you feeling... 🔹🔹 🔹 🔹 🔹 Vote, comment, or ignore all rules and do your own thing. (That’s very on-brand after all. 😁)

As we close out Week 1 of 2026 (yes… already 😅), let’s carry this thought with us: “If there are people who care, there is always hope.” ~ Simon Sinek Hope doesn’t always show up as fireworks or big wins. Sometimes it looks like: 👉 someone checking in when they didn’t have to 👉 a message that lands right when you needed it 👉 a crew that reminds you you’re not doing this alone And let’s be honest... some days, being the person who cares is the bravest move on the board. 🧡 HuRU isn’t about having it all figured out — it’s about showing up, staying connected, and keeping the light on for yourself and others. So as we head into Week 2... ✨ Be the care. ✨ Receive the care. ✨ And remember: hope is a team sport around here. Now tell us 👇 What’s one small moment of “care” you noticed this week — gave it, received it, or even laughed your way through it? (Extra HuRU points if it involved coffee, chaos, or a well-timed meme ☕😂) — Crew over perfection. Always. 💪

Let’s talk about networks — not the awkward, business-card-shuffle kind... but the real kind. The kind built on conversations, curiosity, and actually giving a damn. This season, we’re being intentional about who we surround ourselves with and how we show up. Because growth doesn’t happen in isolation. Opportunities don’t come from algorithms alone. And momentum is almost always borrowed before it’s built. Your next breakthrough might not come from what you know... but who you know — or who knows you because you served them well. So instead of asking, “Who can help me? ”What if we asked: 👉 Who can I help? 👉 Who needs what I already know? 👉 Who would benefit from a real conversation right now? That’s how real networks are built. Not transactional. Intentional. Human. HuRU. CTA 👇 Drop a comment and tell us one of these: 🔹How are you intentionally building your network right now? 🔸Who do you need to meet this year? 🔹OR… who are you looking to serve, support, or connect with next? Tell us: Hu R U? and What do U do? Let’s build bridges, not just contact lists. 💥

Big or tiny. Serious or silly. Excitement counts as momentum.
