What does it really mean to belong? And why is it one of the most challenging topics of discussion and feeling to embody? In this episode, Jess and Jess sit down with Professor Geoffrey Cohen, and author of Belonging, for a raw conversation about their own experiences that have informed their understanding and shaped their expectations of belonging. 
Professor Cohen brings research and science to the conversation, and helps The Two Jess(es) understand that by putting themselves out their with the intention of getting to know others in order to help them belong, we can all make the world a better place. But beyond that, he provides a very human approach to not only his work, but this conversation- and gives really practical advice on how to help ourselves, and others in the neverending quest of feeling like we belong.
This one is full of enlightening information, and above all, hope.

Meet Professor Cohen:
Geoffrey L. Cohen is Professor of Psychology and the James G. March Professor of Organizational Studies in Education and Business at Stanford University. He lives in Palo Alto, California.
