28. Tyler's Story: the labels we wear, finding belonging and showing up authentically, and the superpower sports bring to our social health

Meet Tyler Bjork, our season 2 storyteller for the I Know Lonely Project this month. Understanding the deep hurt that comes from bullying and feeling unseen, Tyler shares his story of loneliness. His story explains how where we feel seen, where we feel accepted and where we feel belonging are often the places we can be the most authentic. For him, that was spaces like theatre, choir, and performing arts and getting involved in Special Olympics. Connection thrives in spaces where we know we belong and Tyler's story is an inspiring reminder to pursue places of belonging by showing up authentically.
