Today we’re talking about BELONGING with Sarah Westfall, author of The Way of Belonging: Reimagining Who We Are & How We Relate. Sarah shares her personal journey and the experiences that sparked her passion for exploring how we connect with others and find our place in the world.

Sarah explains the concept that "belonging is not something to attain, but someone to become.” We discuss common barriers that keep people from experiencing genuine belonging, as well as practical ways to break through these challenges.

Whether you feel deeply connected or are searching for that sense of belonging, this episode offers valuable insights and encouragement to help you find and foster a true sense of belonging. Join us as we explore what it means to belong and how embracing this fundamental need can transform our lives and communities!
