Her latest book, Come Matter Here: How to Make a Home in a World That's Always Changing is an inspiring and thought-provoking read that encourages readers to find their sense of belonging in a world that is constantly in flux. We had the pleasure of chatting with Hannah to ask her about her new book, the inspiration behind it, and her advice for those who may be feeling lost in today's world.
- Can you tell us a little bit about your new book, Come Matter Here?
Hannah Brencher: Come Matter Here is a book about finding a sense of belonging in a world that is constantly changing. It's about how to make a home for yourself, even when you're not sure where you're supposed to belong. The book is a mix of personal stories, research, and practical advice on how to build a sense of belonging in your life. I wrote it because I think so many people are feeling lost and disconnected in today's world, and I wanted to offer some hope and guidance for those who are struggling to find their place.
- What inspired you to write this book?
HB: I've always been interested in the concept of belonging, and I've struggled with feeling like I don't quite fit in anywhere. I spent a lot of my twenties feeling lost and disconnected, and I know that I'm not alone in that feeling. As I've gotten older and started building a life for myself, I've learned that belonging is something that you have to actively create for yourself. I wanted to write this book to share what I've learned and to offer some hope and guidance for others who are struggling to find their place.
- One of the themes of the book is how to make a home for yourself, even when you're not sure where you're supposed to belong. Can you give some examples of how someone can do this in their own life?
HB: One of the things I talk about in the book is the importance of creating a sense of belonging in your physical space. This means creating a home that feels like yours, whether that's by decorating it with things that are meaningful to you, or by making sure that you have a comfortable and inviting space to come home to. Another way to create a sense of belonging is by building community. This can be as simple as joining a group or club that interests you, or it can be something more intentional like starting your own group or community. Building a network of people who understand and support you is a key component of feeling like you belong somewhere.
- What advice would you give to someone who is feeling lost and disconnected in today's world?
HB: My advice would be to start small. Building a sense of belonging is not something that happens overnight, it's something that you have to actively work on. Start by creating a sense of belonging in your physical space, and then work on building a community. Surround yourself with people who understand and support you. You don't have to have everything figured out right away, just take it one step at a time. And don't be afraid to reach out for help if you need it. There are so many resources available for people who are feeling lost and disconnected, and it's important to take advantage of them.
- What do you hope readers take away from Come Matter Here?
HB: I hope that readers come away from this book feeling like they have some tools and resources to help them build a sense of belonging in their lives. I
HB: I also hope that readers will feel less alone in their struggles to find their place in the world. I want people to know that feeling lost and disconnected is a common experience, and that it's possible to find a sense of belonging, even in a world that is constantly changing. I hope that readers will be inspired to take action and start building a home and a community for themselves.
Additionally, I would like readers to understand the power of small actions, how little things can lead to big changes. For example, the way we talk to ourselves can make a big difference in how we feel about ourselves and our place in the world. Practicing self-compassion, understanding and being kind to ourselves, can help to change the way we see ourselves and our place in the world.
In Come Matter Here, I also explore the idea of being present, in the moment and in the place where we are, rather than constantly looking for something else. I believe that when we are present, we can find a sense of belonging, even in the most unexpected places. I hope that readers will be inspired to slow down, pay attention to the present, and find the beauty in the place where they are right now.
Overall, Come Matter Here is an uplifting and empowering book that offers practical advice and inspiration for anyone who is feeling lost and disconnected in today's world. It's a reminder that we all have the ability to create a sense of belonging for ourselves, and that it's never too late to start building a home and a community. I encourage everyone to pick up a copy and start on their journey towards a sense of belonging today.
