They unpack: • How to negotiate belonging when you feel like an outsider • Why failure is not the end but a stepping stone • The power of listening in leadership and community building • How to build authentic connections without ego or competition • Turning personal evolution into purpose and impact If you’ve ever questioned where you belong… if you’ve ever failed and felt shame… if you’ve ever wanted to build something bigger than yourself this episode is for you.
