## Resource

Belonging is the innate human desire to be part of something larger than us. It is primal - something that we all yearn for constantly and can find in different places and spaces across our lives. So were are the places that we can find and really feel a sense of belonging? And what happens when belonging means a sacrifice of our authenticity? In this week's episode of Two Inconvenient Women, we explore what it means to belong, some of the places that we all can - and often do - find a sense of belonging; what it means to belong to ourselves and how this sense of inner belonging helps shape our authenticity in the world, allowing us to feel even more of a sense of connection. In this conversation we reference the following: Dr Dan Siegel - Interpersonal Neurobiology (website) Brene Browne - Atlas of the Heart (Book) Martin Shaw - The Woman who became a Fox (video) Dr Stephen Porges - Polyvagal Theory (website) Groups & Gangs - ThoughtBox Curriculum (website page) Hosted on Acast.
