In this heartfelt conversation, Michelle DeKeyser and guest Symone Fairchild open the new season of The Mama Genius Podcast with an honest exploration of what it means to belong.

Through grounding, reflection, and story, they remind us that connection begins not with others—but within ourselves. As women, mothers, and creators, it’s easy to lose touch with that inner spark when life feels full. But in circle, we find our way back: to stillness, to authenticity, and to being seen just as we are.

Michelle guides listeners through a gentle grounding exercise and visualization before exploring the deeper truth behind women’s circles — they’re not just gatherings; they’re sacred spaces for healing, presence, and rediscovery. Together, she and Symone explore moments of disconnection, the courage to show up, and the freedom that comes when we finally stop hiding.

💫 This episode is a reminder: you already belong.

Raised in the Washington D.C. area and a Master of Northern Shaolin Kung-Fu, Symone Fairchild is an actress, writer, director, and producer whose life embodies resilience and faith.
