In Episode 187 of The Empowered & Embodied Show, Kim Romain and Louise Neil sit down with transformational leadership partner Garland Fuller to explore the power of third spaces -- the places that remind you who you are when life pulls you in every direction.

They go deep into how community, movement, and curiosity open the door back to yourself. They talk about the grief of disconnection, the courage to be a beginner again, and why belonging matters more than ever.

This conversation is a grounded reminder that connection isn’t a luxury, it’s medicine. And sometimes the smallest, most unexpected spaces are the ones that pull you back together.

Key Takeaways:

  • Third spaces help you remember who you are outside of roles and expectations.
  • Belonging is a core ingredient of human wellbeing.
  • Movement reconnects you to your body’s wisdom.
  • Curiosity opens the door to growth and possibility.
  • Workplaces can transform when they adopt third-space principles.
  • Community engagement deepens self-understanding.
  • Intentional participation unlocks the full impact of third spaces.
