In episode 15 of Blueprints for Belonging, Geoff and Kelly explore two of the most overlooked but essential rooms in the “house of belonging”: the Kitchen and the Release Room. Kitchens remind us of the daily nourishment relationships require — small, steady acts of kindness, presence, and gratitude. The Release Room highlights the need for emotional hygiene — letting go of stress, judgments, and shame so they don’t leak into every other part of life. Together, nourishment and release keep connection livable. By sustaining gratitude for what we already have and practicing daily care, belonging grows stronger, steadier, and more human.
