Beyond Fitting In: What It Means to Truly Belong
Manage episode 483487476 series 3657422
Jess and Lisa dive into a profound discussion about the concept of belonging and how it relates to our sense of self and our place in various communities.
• Sharing the ups and downs of family life including the inevitable sharing of germs
• Exploring the relationship between productivity and waste, suggesting productivity increases when waste decreases
• Challenging traditional views by proposing that belonging starts with declaring "I belong here" rather than waiting for external validation
• Distinguishing between "fitting in" (changing yourself to match others) and "belonging" (being accepted as your authentic self)
• Examining belonging through the lens of diversity, equity, and inclusion using a dance floor analogy
• Considering the role of self-confidence and authenticity in creating a sense of belonging
• Questioning whether belonging is something we create for ourselves or something bestowed upon us by others
