Episode 7: How to feel like you belong after an entire lifetime of feeling like you don't fit in (or at least how Jen's learning to do it)
In this episode, Jen talks about her journey toward believing that she belongs in the places she wants to be in her life after an entire lifetime of... well, not.
"I just want to fit in. I want to feel like I belong, so I need to hide who I am to do that."
During an EFT tapping exercise this past week, these words rocked Jen to the core when she realized how much they had been guiding her life & beliefs.
Jen (like many people) has believed that she wouldn't feel like she fit in if she showed up fully as herself.
But, the truth is that hiding actually makes it harder to feel like we belong because we're keeping everyone at arm's length--maybe even ourselves sometimes.
This podcast episode is for you if you can relate to a core fear or belief of not belonging. As Jen shares her story, hopefully, you will be inspired to think of:
Many of life's circumstances can make you feel like an outsider or that you don't belong. But, the most important thing is that you're staying true to yourself.
Can you feel like you belong anywhere else if you don't belong with or to yourself first? In Braving the Wilderness, Brene Brown talks about Maya Angelou's quote: "You are only free when you realize you belong no place—you belong every place—no place at all. The price is high. The reward is great."
Staying true to yourself will be scary sometimes, and sometimes it requires sacrifice, or you experience loss. However, the reward of peace, joy, and fulfillment when you listen to your inner voice and choose not to be moved--well, that's everything. That's worth it all.
Will you dare to show up and be seen, to choose to belong when you're with yourself, so whatever room you walk into, you can have the confidence that you belong there?
If you plan to, let us know how! And share this episode with the first friend you think of when listening. Thanks for helping spread the word! :)
