Episode Synopsis

I’ve been experiencing a lot of transitions lately, and with those transitions I’ve been feeling a heightened sense of vulnerability around belonging. This feeling isn’t new for me. In fact, I’ve often struggled with feeling like I didn’t ‘belong’. The way I navigate these feelings has changed for the better, though, and today I’ll share how. 

We’ll talk about the differences between belonging and fitting in, and how external validation pales in comparison to internal validation. Then, I’ll guide you through a short meditation you can use at any time to help you ground into yourself when the ache to belong becomes overwhelming. 

Today on WithIn: 



Why the feeling of belonging seems so important 




The difference between belonging and fitting in 




Why internal validation and self-love are more important that external validation 




A guided mediation to help you strengthen your internal validation
