​This is a complimentary event for Podium members.

​Capacity: 10 pax (min 4 to proceed)
Feels like: Light & easy🌙🖥️
Location: Google meet, please dial in from somewhere quiet and calm where you can journal from and share your reflection on the call.

​Fitting in and being yourself aren't always opposites. Sometimes adapting is a skill. Sometimes it's a survival instinct. This session's article explores the line between the two - how social conditioning, the need for belonging, and the desire for approval shape the version of ourselves we put forward, often without us noticing.

​Part of our March series: The Great Unlearning - a reflective Reading Room series examining the inherited beliefs, cultural scripts, and expectations we grew up with.

​Reading Room is an intimate online gathering for those who love a light yet thoughtful read, and enjoy talking about what lingered.

​We’ll read a short article on the call together (the kind you might find in The New Yorker) then share what stood out, what felt uncomfortable, or what stayed with us after.

​There’s no prep and no pressure to be articulate or insightful. Think of it as just reading something meaningful together and having a chat or a laugh about it!

​🌟 What to expect

• ​A short, thoughtfully chosen article shared and read together

• ​Quiet time to reflect, followed by a guided conversation

• ​Hearing how the same piece lands differently across the room
