Belonging Begins Within: A Circle Conversation with Symone Fairchild

In this heartfelt conversation, Michelle DeKeyser and guest Symone Fairchild open the new season of The Mama Genius Podcast with an honest exploration of what it means to belong.Through grounding, reflection, and story, they remind us that connection begins not with others—but within ourselves. As women, mothers, and creators, it’s easy to lose touch with that inner spark when life feels full. But in circle, we find our way back: to stillness, to authenticity, and to being seen just as we are.Michelle guides listeners through a gentle grounding exercise and visualization before exploring the deeper truth behind women’s circles — they’re not just gatherings; they’re sacred spaces for healing, presence, and rediscovery. Together, she and Symone explore moments of disconnection, the courage to show up, and the freedom that comes when we finally stop hiding.💫 This episode is a reminder: you already belong.Raised in the Washington D.C. area and a Master of Northern Shaolin Kung-Fu, Symone Fairchild is an actress, writer, director, and producer whose life embodies resilience and faith.As the founder of I On DV and creator of the documentary Lean Into Fear, she transforms her own journey of surviving and thriving after domestic abuse into art that illuminates healing, purpose, and divine truth.00:00 – Introduction to the Mama Genius Hub Podcast01:05 – Welcoming Symone and the Concept of Women’s Circles04:16 – Grounding Exercise and Visualization09:22 – Exploring the Concept of Belonging14:25 – Reflections on Belonging and Personal Experiences16:35 – Closing Thoughts and Upcoming Projects18:05 – Final Words and Invitation to Join the Circle✨ Join a Free Women’s CircleSundays at 8 PM CST — mamageniushub.com/cocreate✨ Explore the Mama Genius HubCourses, Circles & Connection for Moms in Business — connectingmamas.comwomen’s circles, belonging, connection for moms, emotional wellness for moms, mindfulness for mompreneurs, mama genius hub, women’s circle meditation, healing for moms, rediscovering purpose, authentic connection
