Obsessed with Belonging ft. Sedruola Maruska (The Brené Brown Inspired Series)
What is belonging?
Brené Brown, author of Atlas of the Heart (a book we are obsessed with), defines belonging as:
A practice that requires us to be vulnerable, get uncomfortable, and learn how to be present with people without sacrificing who we are. We have to belong to ourselves as much as we need to belong to others. Any belonging that asks us to betray ourselves is not true belonging.
We all want to feel like we belong, that we are a part of something. It's a basic human need that drives our social behaviors. We see this in how we form groups, whether at school, at work, or in our communities. A sense of belonging is important because it can help people feel supported and connected to their community. It can also lead to positive emotional states like happiness, satisfaction, and pride.
And when people feel like they don't belong, they often experience loneliness, isolation, and even depression. In order to create a sense of belonging, there is a need to focus on creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome and feels comfortable sharing their ideas.
In this episode, our guest Sedruola Maruska shares her story of how she's always putting herself in uncomfortable places to grow as a human being and make connections with people of all cultures. Growing up in different environments shaped her desire to make people feel comfortable and feel like other people want to hear and understand what they're saying.
Sedruola (or Sadie) is a passionate speaker and consultant on accountability, equity, inclusion, and social justice, focusing on cultivating diverse cultures and spaces. Her podcast, Diversity Dish, delves into conversations with marginalized people from all walks of life who share stories of experiencing, overcoming, and finding solutions for discrimination, prejudice, and racism within industries.

Obsessed With Embracing The Vulnerability of Aging ft. Neeahtima Dowdy (and everything in between inspired by Brené Brown)
In this episode of Obsessed, we talk all things, hormones, aging, pregnancy, and everything in between. We are continually inspired by the works of our favorite researcher and badass Brene Brown.
Author and researcher Brene Brown writes, “We associate vulnerability with emotions that we want to avoid such as fear, shame, and uncertainty, yet we often lose sight of the fact that vulnerability is also the birthplace of joy, belonging, creativity, authenticity, and love.”
At 55, Neeahtima Dowdy realized it’s still possible to reinvent herself into the woman of her dreams. And she shares how we can still be confident, fabulous, and powerful regardless of our age in this episode.
Midlife is often viewed as a time when women hit a crossroads. They may start to feel invisible; they are losing their marketable quality, relationships, and professional aspirations.
But more and more women like Neeahtima are choosing to buck the midlife stereotypes and embrace this stage of life. Whether by starting their own businesses, traveling the world, or simply enjoying newfound hobbies and passions, more and more women are redefining what it means to be in this stage of life.
There’s no one right way to approach aging, but women are doing it their way and rocking it. From making lifestyle changes to improving self-confidence, Neeahtima proves that there is no age limit on happiness or success – and she continues to inspire others to do the same. She talks about how she’s thriving in midlife and gives valuable pieces of advice for those who may be feeling stuck.
Neeahtima is the creator and host of We’re Not Dead Yet: Women Rocking their Next Chapter, a YouTube series where she inspires women over 40, 50, 60, and beyond to step out of their comfort zone and reinvent themselves, discover new talents, or find their passion.

02:02 - Period, hormones, and pregnancy
04:12 - Not letting age become a hindrance in achieving your goals
07:31 - Starting a YouTube channel to inspire women to live their best lives
