reflections on: what is the relationship between belonging and belongings?

Belonging vs Belongings:

It has always bothered me how similar these two words are, set apart only by an ‘S’. Yet somehow they hold completely different meanings.

In this minisode, I’m exploring the relationship between our sense of belonging and our physical belongings. The idea for this episode came about after I recently lost a physical product of mine and I found myself unreasonably upset over it. A conversation with a dear friend sparked this debate and now I’m letting you into bits and pieces of our conversations where she shares a metaphor that helped me reframe the relationship between belonging and belongings.

I hope you find value in this less structured, unscripted minisode and if you do, please share it with a friend or spark this conversation with someone around you:

What is the relationship between belonging and belongings?

Are belonging and belongings intricately connected?

Can we find belonging without our belongings?
