#91 - Finding True Belonging- Lessons from the Dominican Republic

"True belonging doesn’t require us to change who we are; it requires us to be who we are." – Brené BrownIn this deeply personal episode of Girl Out of Order, I’m sharing the powerful lessons I learned about belonging during my recent trip to the Dominican Republic. From a young age, I’ve struggled to find my place in the world, feeling like a square peg in a round hole. Can you relate? Whether it was at the dinner table, in classrooms, or social groups, the feeling of not quite fitting in has been a lifelong challenge. But this journey to the Dominican Republic with my True Legacy Collective sisters opened my eyes—and my heart—to the true meaning of belonging in ways I never expected.Join me as I take you through an unforgettable experience of service, self-discovery, and connection. I'll share how a moment in a beautiful labyrinth—surrounded by women who inspire me—helped break down my walls and finally allowed me to embrace the power of belonging.
