Episode Summary

One of the key drives of our lives is to belong. To truly belong where we are known and accepted and respected, if not loved. We often mistake fitting in for belonging. We perform to fit in at school, at work, at church, or with family. And that’s the rub, we’re performing. We’re not being ourselves. And we don’t find true belonging.

My expert on belonging is Ritu Bhasin, who is a global expert on diversity, equity, and inclusion and has worked with hundreds of world-renowned organizations to help guide people to becoming their authentic selves, which as you’re about to hear is step on in belonging. Ritu has been a professional speaker for almost 15 years and has presented to 100,000s+ people globally. Her book is called We’ve Got This: Unlocking The Beauty Of Belonging.

We discuss the first step in belonging is belonging to yourself. And this is the hardest step. We talked long on what being authentic really entails, when almost all of us were taught to perform. We discuss the difference between being untrue to yourself and adapting to others out of respect and love. And we cover issues of personal credibility and how those who are marginalized in any way have more barriers to cross on the path to belonging, and how they can advocate for themselves.
