About this listen

Ever felt like you’re somehow… not like the others? Like you stand out — at family dinners, summer parties, festivals, or even just in everyday conversations? In this episode, we talk about those moments where you feel like the odd one out — whether it’s because you made a different life choice, changed direction, or just don’t vibe with the crowd around you. No pressure to be loud or radically different — but an invitation to stay true to yourself, even if you feel a little offbeat. I’m sharing personal stories (cheerleading in a tiny town, showing up sober at a beer pong table 😉), some lessons learned, and reflections that might help you navigate similar situations — a little more grounded, a little more confident, and a lot more you. Let’s talk about… ✨ Belonging vs. authenticity ✨ Social norms that are just… weird ✨ Why people might push back when you grow ✨ And how to stay soft, open-hearted, and true to yourself through it all No preaching, just real talk. Let’s dive in.
