Belonging at Christmas STP096 - We were gonna call this episode "Naked Christmas" after our opening line. But we backed off a little when we saw it in print!Why naked? Because both Naomi and I verbally 'bare all' in our chat about Christmas, families and the challenges of trying to meet everyone's expectations.Over at "How to Belong" Naomi talks to lots of people about how they have learned that if you try to meet other people's expectations - you're gonna find it tough.This episode is a joint 'broadcast' between Naomi and me where we hear about the guests Naomi has had on her podcast and talk about the future of both our podcasts - as well as some other fairly deep topics.If you want to listen to any of the episodes of How To Belong, or Sharppodcast - here you go:How to Belong - all the episodesSharppodcast - all the episodesWe hope you enjoyed our chat, and that you have a great holiday/break/Christmas - however you spend the next few weeks!We will be back in the new year - but in the meantime, we'd love to
