🧠 Weekly MindSweep No. 203 | Curated Conversation | Belonging

This week’s Curated Conversation turns toward one of the deepest human needs—and one of the most misunderstood: Belonging.

After a month exploring Shame, it became clear that everything beneath the fear, defensiveness, over-explaining, undercharging, fawning, and creative hiding traced back to a single question:

“Is it safe to be myself here?”

In this episode, Jamie dives into the neuroscience and lived experience of belonging—not the external, approval-based kind, but the quiet internal belonging that comes from honoring who you truly are in your business, your creativity, and your community.

You’ll explore:

why belonging feels like survival to your brain

how self-abandonment shows up in work and visibility

the difference between fitting in and belonging

the stories we carry about worth

the moment your nervous system finally exhales, “I’m allowed to take up space.”

Plus, you’ll learn the four awareness tools for noticing when you leave yourself, and how to begin the practice of returning.

If you’ve ever softened your brilliance, reshaped your voice, underpriced your value, or translated your creativity into something more “acceptable,” this episode will feel like coming home to yourself.

Welcome to Belonging – not something you earn, but something you remember.
