What does it mean to belong — truly and deeply?
In this intimate conversation, Karen Sander speaks with Rugare Gomo, a leadership coach and former lawyer whose life began stateless and unfolded across Zimbabwe and Australia.
Rugare shares his journey from displacement and identity struggle to corporate success — and the inner crisis that followed when success failed to bring peace. He speaks openly about mental health, addiction, shame, and the long work of healing, as well as the influence of the powerful women who shaped his life.
This episode explores themes of:
Identity and belonging
Mental health and emotional resilience
Migration, displacement, and self-acceptance
Redefining success beyond status and achievement
Leadership grounded in love, integrity, and purpose
A moving story of courage, honesty, and transformation — and a reminder that real belonging is something we build from within.
