In this episode, Nicole George and Chris Melville discuss the theme of belonging and the importance of visibility in personal and professional growth.

In this episode of the SOVEREIGN Magazine® Podcast, host Nicole George reconnects with Chris Melville, SOVEREIGN Magazine®'s In-House Coach, to explore the July New Moon theme “A Sense of Belonging” through Chris’s article, “ You’ll Only Belong If You Stay. ” Chris shares joining an online networking group during lockdown and feeling out of place among six- and seven-figure business owners, then finding her voice by continuing to show up and connecting in the chat with others at similar stages. She reflects on past corporate PR experience with high-profile talent as proof that skills transfer and discomfort is often just newness. Chris advises clients that visibility is essential for business success and describes overcoming her own video confidence blocks through consistent practice. They discuss belonging as internal confidence, and Chris’s interest in podcasting as a way to spotlight others’ stories. 00:00 Trigger Warning 01:07 Meet Chris Melville 02:22 Out of Place Networking 03:27 Finding Your Voice 04:38 Confidence From Past Wins 07:15 Visibility and Tough Love 09:34 Beating the Video Block 11:53 Podcast Dreams and Purpose 13:07 Human Design Detour 14:42 Belonging Takeaways…
