"Belonging is a muscle. You have to practice it, because loneliness is our default state." Have you ever noticed how in a world more "connected" than ever, so many of us still feel unseen, lonely, and disconnected — not just from others, but from ourselves? In this episode of Soul Talk, I sit down with Radha Agrawal, the brilliant founder of Daybreaker and author of Belong, to explore what it truly means to come home to yourself and create authentic connection in a disconnected world. Radha's story is powerful. After a life-changing experience at Burning Man, she was inspired to start Daybreaker, a global movement that brings people together in joy, dance, and deep belonging, all without substances. She reminds us that belonging isn't something that happens to you, it's something you practice. It's a muscle that gets stronger every time you choose to show up, reach out, and open your heart. Together, we dive into what it takes to build community rooted in authenticity and courage. We talk about the fear that holds us back from connection, how to heal the loneliness we carry, and how to nurture friendships with honesty and grace. Radha also shares her VIA framework for finding your people and her refreshing perspective on why inefficiency, slowing down, being present, is the secret to deeper love and joy. This conversation is an invitation to remember that you already belong. You belong to yourself, to life, to love. Listen to this episode and learn how to turn loneliness into belonging, create meaningful community, practice the art of friendship, and live with more joy, connection, and purpose.
