Feeling like a misfit can be challenging in a world that values conformity. It's easy to feel disconnected.
It’s easy to feel like you don't measure up to society's standards.
What if you embraced your unique qualities instead of trying to fit in?
No one in the world is like you, and that’s your power.

I want to share with you the strategies that helped me learn to celebrate being different, even in the face of rejection, abandonment, and adversity.
