In this episode of Seeking the Overlap, host Baily Hancock reflects on the first half of season one and how her conversations with guests have completely transformed her understanding of connection. What began as a mission to teach listeners how to connect better with others evolved into a profound exploration of self-connection—something she hadn’t planned to focus on.

Baily opens up about her lifelong obsession with joining groups, masking and adapting to fit in with any crowd, her recent autism diagnosis, and how these insights have reshaped the way she approaches relationships. She shares unexpected lessons about perfectionism, over-achieving, and the power of vulnerability in creating authentic, reciprocal connections. You’ll learn how to build deeper, more meaningful relationships by prioritizing self-connection, embracing authenticity, and unmasking as a path toward true connection.
