From subtle exclusions in professional groups to generational mismatches in industry spaces, she reflects on what it means to crave community without wanting to contort yourself to belong.This is not an episode about answers or solutions.It’s an invitation to sit with the question, to notice misalignment, and to pay attention to where you can exhale.Best Moments“You’re not just networking, you’re translating yourself.”“Too experienced for some spaces. Too reflective for others.”“The question ‘where do I fit?’ isn’t about geography or age. It’s about energy.”Key Takeaways:Creativity can be a place of rest, not just productivityFeeling out of place doesn’t always mean something is wrong; it can be informationBelonging that requires constant adjustment comes at a costCommunity isn’t about numbers or visibility, but about being able to exhaleClarity can begin with knowing where you don’t fitResources and Links:Subscribe to Aishat's newsletter on LinkedInJoin Aishat's mailing listFree Resources → hereAbout your host:Aishat is a money coach, educator, and book lover with over 25 years of finance experience in the charity sector.
