Stop Shoulding All Over Yourself
We all deserve a life of joy and fulfillment, but for many of us that joy feels elusive. We've checked off all the boxes and done all the the things that the blueprint of life says should make us happy, and yet - no joy. Turns out, being happy isn't about following society's blueprint, but about creating our own blueprint for what we want out of our lives and taking action to make that happen. For us to embrace that opportunity, we first have to let go of other people prescriptions for our life choices, and build trust in our own inner compasses. That journey was hard and long for me, but it doesn't have to be. Join me as we explore and build an exciting future based on what YOU want, and how YOU feel inside, unlock a life of joy and fulfillment, and release yourself of the guilt of not enough.
Stop Shoulding All Over Yourself
Your Weird As Your Superpower
There are just too many things that can make an individual person feel weird, and its all based on our own life experiences, so what one person thinks is weird, another person can find totally normal. But despite how subjective weird can be, for many of us, it’s something we spent a lifetime trying to get away from.
This episode of Stop Shutting All Over Yourself is about perspective shifts you can make and how I learned about how being different from the status quo can be a superpower. Through my own personal stories and stories from others, I learned that we often feel the need to hide our true selves in order to fit in. This fear of being rejected by the collective creates a sense of insecurity and can cause us to mask our true selves and be less productive at work.
However, I also learned that if we can shift our perspective on these issues on an individual level and create a safe work environment, we can be more productive and successful in our careers and our lives.
In this episode, I'm talking about:
1. Embracing your weirdness as your superpower
2. What it looks like to work with chronic illness and how that can be used as a superpower
3. How to embrace the superpowers of others to create inclusion
