Belonging, as research shows us, is a key determinant of our health. It gives us a sense of safety, and it gives our lives meaning and purpose. Without it we feel lost, alone, depressed, even worthless. As you’ll hear in this week’s conversation with Lisa Kentgen, author of The Practice of Belonging, we can build belonging into our lives with intention using the six lessons Lisa learned during her studies into belonging around the world.
You can listen to our conversation wherever you stream podcasts (Apple, Spotify, iHeart Radio) or listen here:
