The extending piece of being a person of welcome… offers a more substantial sense of belonging than if we were to only consume. - Sarah Westfall

My humanity needs space for nothingness. It needs to become settled once again… so that sometime in the future again, I can exhale and give again. - Sarah Westfall

In this episode, Matt has a conversation with Sarah Westfall. Sarah is a full-time writer, speaker, and podcast host whose work delves into the complexities of communal life. She is the author of The Way of Belonging: Reimagining Who You Are and How We Relate and writes regularly on her Substack, Human Together. Her podcast has the same name and the amazing tagline: a podcast for people who agree it is not good to be alone (but secretly wonder whether it might be easier).

We have a great conversation about why humans long to belong, how helping others belong is a creative act, and also a great discussion about all things writing!
