Episode description

What’s on your mind, unicorn? 🦄 Send me a text!

What if what made you weird as a kid makes you amazing as an adult?!

I recently heard someone say this, and it’s so true. The weird things that lit you up as a child are a clue to your unique and remarkable magic. Especially the things people might have told you are odd, or made you feel like you didn’t fit in.

Unfortunately, because our education system and work environments prize and reward conformity and assimilation, we choose to suppress our extraordinary “weird.” 

In an environment where sameness is rewarded, being different feels extremely unsafe. And humans SO deeply crave belonging. 

The good news is, because you made a choice (either conscious or subconscious) to suppress your weird, you also get to choose to uncover it. To shine it up, and to wear it proudly!

So today, consider:
- What lit me up as a kid?
- What made me feel weird?
- How can I wear that weird a bit more proudly in the world today?
