Food and belonging are two of the basic necessities of life, and central to our identity.

We meet for breakfast networking, we take part in power lunch meetings, we have people over for dinner, we sometimes get together for family dinners, or we eat alone, and occasionally we eat as part of a community or event. Food is key to who we are.

In this episode, Wafaa Powel and I discuss the value food has for making time for each other. When we feel we have support and are not alone, we are more resilient, often coping more effectively with difficult times in our lives; food helps achieve this.
