Social scientist Brené Brown, PhD, LMSW, has ignited a global dialogue about the meaningful experiences in our lives, such as courage, vulnerability, love, belonging, shame, and empathy. In her latest work, she redefines true belonging in a time marked by polarization. Brown posits that we are facing a spiritual crisis of disconnection and introduces four practices that challenge our beliefs about ourselves and others. She emphasizes that true belonging requires a deep belief in and connection to ourselves, allowing us to find sacredness in both community and solitude. In a culture dominated by perfectionism and a lack of civility, it’s tempting to remain silent or conform rather than present our authentic selves and confront uncertainty and criticism. True belonging is not a goal to achieve with others; it is a daily practice rooted in integrity and authenticity, a personal commitment we nurture within. Brown provides the clarity and courage needed to reconnect with ourselves and one another, guiding us through the wilderness of our experiences. She describes this wilderness as an unpredictable space for solitude and exploration—dangerous yet breathtaking, feared yet sought after. Ultimately, it is here that we discover true belonging, the bravest and most sacred place we can inhabit.
