Episode 21: Belonging — The Joy of Being Seen and Accepted

What does it really mean to belong—not just to a group, but to yourself?

In today’s episode of Happiness Through Creating, we explore the deep human longing for belonging—a need so foundational that without it, even the most joyful experiences can feel empty. Through story, science, and practical insight, we’ll look at how belonging is created—not by fitting in, but by being fully seen and accepted as your true self.

You’ll learn:

• Why belonging is essential for happiness and creativity

• The difference between fitting in and authentic connection

• How creators navigate the tension between staying true to their voice and being accepted

• Practical steps to create belonging—for yourself and for others

This episode is a reminder that belonging isn’t something we wait to receive. It’s something we create—through honesty, presence, and courage.

Whether you feel like an insider, outsider, or somewhere in between, this conversation will help you reclaim the joy of being known—and empower you to offer that joy to others.

🎧 Listen now to discover how the journey of belonging begins not out there, but within.
