What if the very things you've been told to "niche down" into or hide are actually what make you captivating?
In this episode, My guest Bee Higgins and I reflect on how our complexity — the messy, multi-layered, contradictory parts of ourselves — is not something to be feared, but embraced. We talk about why self-expression so often gets tangled up in pressure to be just one thing, and how that pressure can quietly squash our confidence.
From her early days as a blogger (pre-Instagram and pre-"influencer") to proudly claiming her identity as a disabled woman — Bee has learned that all the bits of us matter.
This one’s an honest, human conversation about owning your full story and allowing all of you to be seen.
Because guess what? That’s what makes you interesting.
