Being FOMO: What Our Pets Teach Us About Belonging

What do our pets teach us about belonging? In this episode, we reflect on the quiet wisdom that animals bring into human life through the story of Sakura. Pets do not speak our language, yet they often understand presence, affection, trust and attachment in ways that feel deeply human. Through the lens of the brain, emotion and lived experience, this conversation explores how companionship shapes our sense of safety, how care becomes a language of connection, and how the bonds we share with animals can remind us what it means to belong. A gentle reflection on love, loyalty, memory and the invisible threads that make a house feel like home. Listen now to discover what Sakura, and the pets who walk beside us, can teach us about belonging.
