In this episode, I'm breaking down why the people who are "different"—the ones who march to their own beat—are the ones I truly admire. Using a powerful parable about two dogs watching a bird fly solo in the sky (one sees freedom, one sees loneliness), we're exploring how perspective changes EVERYTHING.
Here's the truth: Society teaches us to fit in from the moment we're born. Stand in line. Follow the rules. Do what everyone else is doing. But what if I told you that TRUE FREEDOM comes when you stop worrying about what other people think and start celebrating who you REALLY are?
I'm also talk about what I'm teaching my daughter, my high school senior navigating this crazy world. To every young person feeling like an outcast or wondering if you're "too different"—THIS EPISODE IS FOR YOU. Your uniqueness isn't a flaw; it's your SUPERPOWER. 💪🏾
Yes, you'll have critics. Yes, you'll have people who throw darts at your dreams. That's guaranteed. But when you're living your truth and giving more love than hate to this world? You become a beacon of hope for others.
