In this episode, I talk honestly about something so many of us quietly wrestle with: fitting in. I reflect on how belonging isn’t a switch that flips once we’re “in,” but a practice we return to again and again. I explore how connection takes time, repetition, and a willingness to stay present even when it feels awkward or lonely. Sometimes what we call being left out is really us leaving too soon. Belonging has a backstory, and those inside jokes and deep bonds we admire are built through shared moments, not instant chemistry. This episode is an invitation to keep showing up, to be brave enough to be new, and to remember that connection isn’t about perfection—it’s about participation.
Key Takeaways:
- Belonging is not a one-time achievement; it’s a lifelong practice that grows through patience, presence, and repeated participation.
- Every insider was once an outsider who stayed long enough to build connections.
- Deep community doesn’t happen instantly; it’s created by showing up again, reaching out, and choosing to be a friend first.
