What does it mean to belong — truly and deeply?

In this intimate conversation, Karen Sander speaks with Rugare Gomo, a leadership coach and former lawyer whose life began stateless and unfolded across Zimbabwe and Australia.

He speaks openly about mental health, addiction, shame, and the long work of healing, as well as the influence of the powerful women who shaped his life.

• Migration, displacement, and self-acceptance

• Redefining success beyond status and achievement

• Leadership grounded in love, integrity, and purpose

A moving story of courage, honesty, and transformation — and a reminder that real belonging is something we build from within.
