The Boomerang of Belonging

The time I spoke just before Deepak Chopra and got tackle-hugged by the past

You know that feeling of I don’t belong here?

The quiet middle-school cafeteria panic of not knowing where to sit, and the slow realization that maybe nowhere is the right table?

That feeling?

I thought I’d outgrown it. I really did.

Then I got invited to speak at a corporate event.
