What if the spaces you move through at work, in relationships, and in your community could reflect the same sense of belonging you have worked to build within yourself?

In this episode of the Next Level U™ podcast, we continue our A to Z journey with the letter B for Belonging (Part 2) and explore how to carry your inner grounding into the world around you.

Join hosts Mayaria Johnson and Dr. Maryam Johnson as they explore:

• Why belonging at work begins with people, not policies
• How stress responses like fight, flight, freeze, and fawn show up and how to shift toward managing instead
• The Platinum Rule and how it reshapes the way we connect
• What it looks like to belong in family, friendships, and partnerships without losing yourself
• How community can restore connection when other spaces fall short
• The four key layers of belonging: self, work, relationships, and community
• How to use the N.E.X.T. Check-In to take intentional steps toward deeper connection

This episode blends personal insight, research, and practical tools to help you stop questioning your place and start creating spaces where you can show up fully and be accepted.

If you have ever wrestled with belonging in your workplace, relationships, or community, this episode is for you.
