Original Belonging Podcast Cover

Hear personal stories and listen to conversations with creatives, visionaries and leaders as we delve into how significant events from our formative years create the soulful through-threads that last a lifetime. Inspired by my work in Jungian-oriented Depth Psychology, “Original Belonging” inspires people to connect to the soul of childhood, understand how our early years provide a portal into our authenticity, and envision how these original gifts connect to our unfolding sense of purpose in these times of transition.
