Discover how a simple shift in our mindset and language can transform our professional and personal lives. On this episode join Denise as she explores the effects of pessimistic explanatory style, which erodes our belief in our intrinsic value and hinders our sense of belonging. On the other hand, optimistic explanatory style empowers us to see setbacks as temporary, specific, and unrelated to our self-worth.

Whether you're seeking to enhance your own sense of belonging or create an inclusive environment for others, this podcast offers practical insights and actionable steps to create spaces of belonging for all. Learn to recognize your own explanatory style, understand the value you bring, and unleash the power of positive language to cultivate a strong sense of belonging.

Join us on this transformative journey as we uncover the profound impact of our inner dialogue and how we can change it to shape a more fulfilling life.

This episode is recasted with permission from the fabulous and talented Delsy Sandoval, host of the Ocu-Pasión Podcast. From time to time, I get the opportunity to meet the absolute coolest peopel and we get to have the most incredible conversations. This is one of those moments. 

Delsy expertly asked me some of the best questions and created an environment where I felt super safe to share some things I've never shared before. 

This is what "belonging to a moment" sounds like. 

Check out Delsy's amazing show here.

Here's a little bit more about the Ocu-Pasión.

VISION: By highlighting the stories of artists and visionaries within our community, Ocu-Pasión creates a platform that celebrates the richness of our creative voices and empowers listeners to ignite their artistic curiosity and bring their visions to life.

_____

MISSION: To provide a space that enhances the presence of artists and visionaries within the culture, allowing creative thinkers of many roots to recognize their shared experiences and celebrate their value.

Thank you Delsy for allowing us to feature our powerful conversation on this platform.

This episode is what we call a "Field Episode" because the content has been captured outside of our studio. We're sharing it with you so that you can get a feel of how intimate and powerful the Q+A's are after people watch our film. 

Key takeaways are:

1. If you're a first gen you're probably familiar with putting your own feelings on the back burner. It's important to talk about your experience (even if you feel guilty) because this is a shared experience which means you're not alone.
2. That in the wake of the tragic murder of George Floyd, an opening was created that invited nuanced storytelling from marginalized communities to come in and add to the collective narrative. Authentic storytelling is one of the more powerful ways we connect to our own sense of belonging.
3. A shared ideology called collectivism unites people across ethnic groups and that awareness pulls us together in arguably the most polarizing of times. 

Thank you to the Botanic Gardens of Denver who hosted a screening of being eñye (scroll down for screener link) and this powerful conversation.
