Embrace Your "Weird": Why Being Yourself Is the Key to Feeling Whole

What if being called weird is actually the greatest compliment?

In this deeply personal and inspiring episode of Mindfully Amplified, I share a conversation with my son that sparked a powerful reflection on identity, belonging, and the masks we wear to fit in. From childhood moves to feeling like a chameleon in social spaces, I explore what it means to show up as your full, authentic self—even when the world pressures you to shrink.

We talk about:

• Why being “normal” is overrated (and even harmful)

• How “weird” is often just another word for real

• The ways we learn to hide ourselves—and how to stop

• 3 practices to help you reconnect with your uniqueness and let it shine

Whether you've felt like the odd one out, been called too much, or just want to feel more alive in your everyday life—this episode is for you.

Let your weird be your truth.
Let your joy be your medicine.
Let your full self take up space.
