Friends, family, listeners and those bold enough to be here -
We just launched a NEW episode (#6 of Season 2: Belonging, as a Legacy Blueprint: A Conversation Among [Cool] Strangers) that was born of a really interesting exchange about belonging, and its relationship to both heritage (what came before, for you to become you) and legacy (what you intend to leave behind).
The original conversation brought up so much that we used it as a model to facilitate a group chat among six people who’ve never been in conversation together before, all who…
Were willing to go deep, fast
Are comfortable talking to strangers
Think these kinds of conversations are awesome
Were as willing to share openly as they were to listening and making/holding space for others
For the facilitated conversation featured in this ep, we each invited one special, deep-thinking and eloquent friend, with the condition that they each invite one person in their world through the same lens.
As such, in this episode, you’ll hear both of us (Tamatha and Chelsea) plus Harrison Nir (Chelsea’s invite) and Clover Stieve (Harrison’s invite), Colleen Ovelman (Tamatha’s invite) and Karen Webster (Colleen’s invite): a (Zoom) room filled with awesome people in a collective, existential dive into our own belonging, and how that informs what we extend to others.
In our shared exploration of the role belonging plays in legacy, we touch on questions like:
Where/what do you come from?
Where/when do you feel like you belong?
How do heritage and belonging inform and impact how you contribute to the world?
We’re really looking forward to hearing what comes up for you in your listening to this one. There’s something in here for everyone.
So, when you find 30 minutes, come on in and to Belonging, as a Legacy Blueprint: A Conversation Among (Cool) Strangers, wherever you get your podcasts! 🚪
With gratitude for NOW,
Tamatha and Chelsea
