In this powerful and deeply human conversation, Melissa sits down with Joseph Yoo, a Korean American priest, storyteller, and advocate for belonging. They explore what it truly means to feel seen, loved, and accepted.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

• Why many people feel like they don’t belong
  
  
• The real meaning of peace (beyond silence)
  
  
• How to stay open in difficult conversations
  
  
• The difference between fitting in vs belonging
