Yesterday while having lunch and taking a little downtime, I found a segment on Access Hollywood that spoke to the importance of belonging.
Author Ritu Bhasin Bhasin spoke of her journey through trauma. I lived through challenges, trauma, and doubts within myself, and I’ve witnessed the hardships in others I love and care for at work and at home. There’s power in self-knowing, caring for yourself, and generating space to live our call to belong.
Strategies for Building a thriving sense of belonging within yourself, at work, and in your communities:
