Belonging & Independence (Part 1) 🫂🚀 Welcome back to Big Emotions! This week we're thinking about ourselves in a group, or what it feels like when we strike out on our own. We'll discover how belonging means being part of a group that accepts and values you, whereas independence is about finding your own way, making your own choices, and standing on your own two feet. In this episode, we explore how these two feelings, while different, are deeply connected - and how you can both fit in and stand out. From family to friends to magical creatures, our stories will show you how you can find your place while staying true to yourself!
