From Loneliness to Belonging: My Personal Journey


Listen Later

If you've ever felt a sense of loneliness or struggled to find a sense of belonging in your life, listen in!

Struggling with loneliness and searching for belonging has shaped my life, and in this heartfelt episode, I open up about my journey to finding belonging and happiness. From a difficult childhood that included abuse on many levels to the shocking financial betrayal in my marriage, it wasn't until I turned to therapy and alternative healing modalities that I began to make sense of my past and heal. Listen as I share my road map to belonging and offer tips on how you can create more belonging in your life too.
 
 We'll discuss and  explore:

  •  The importance of belonging to yourself first - identifying areas of unhappiness and envisioning the changes you'd like to make. 
  •  What I've learned from saying "yes" to everything, including the consequences of not listening to my intuition. 
  • Ways to find more belonging.
  • Why a variety of relationships matter. 
  • Tips for finding and nurturing a social circle to call your own and maintaining a growth mindset to stay curious and open to new experiences. 
  • And I share my thoughts on the power of kindness – towards yourself and others – as a crucial ingredient for finding happiness and freedom.

Tune in for an inspiring conversation that will empower you to create the life you deserve.
