Belonging begins with a homecoming.

In this opening episode of The Belonging Series, Lisa explores what it means to come home to yourself—and why that’s the foundation for every other kind of belonging. She weaves Internal Family Systems, interoception research, and polyvagal theory into a conversation about self-abandonment, nervous system safety, and the freedom of building home inside your own body.

You’ll walk away with reflection prompts and a simple practice to begin strengthening your own self-belonging.

Because coming home is the return. Belonging is the staying.

About The Belonging Series:
Belonging is one of our most essential human needs. In this special series of The Liberated Middle, Lisa explores belonging from the inside out—from coming home to yourself, to the difference between true belonging and fitting in, to the loneliness epidemic, the art of gathering, the neuroscience of connection, and how belonging shifts across the lifespan.
