Welcome vs. Expected

from Sorry I Missed You · host Meg Dalessandro

If you’ve ever felt “included” but still not fully at home, this voicemail is for you. I’m unpacking the difference between being welcomed and being expected, and why that subtle shift can change how we show up in friendships, rooms, and even the experiences we build through marketing. We’ll talk about belonging as something you can practice (not something you accidentally earn), how to stop auditioning for a role nobody’s hiring for, and what it looks like to create moments people actually want to return to. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit sorryimissedyou.substack.com
