Below the Head, Above the Noise

Episode 7. What is your relationship with where you live?


Listen Later

What role does our relationship with “place” play in our lives? Does it matter how much we feel part of the land, neighborhood or city we live in?

In this episode, I talk about author Sharon Blackie’s reflections on “place”, with reference to my unhappy relationship with a certain place early in my life, and how it may contributed to the eating disorder that followed. 

Specific things I share:

  • Why forming connection with a place can be difficult.
  • Why we long for connection to ancestry 
  • How healthy connection affects our lives for the better 
  • Ways we can form connection even when we feel dislocated
