It's okay to be different. We hear it all the time, but what does it look like in practice? Our culture celebrates people who are similar to each other and those who conform easily. It can sometimes feel uncomfortable — or even downright scary — when you don’t conform or fit in with the crowd. In this episode, we discuss why it’s okay to be different from Rhonda and Hanalei Swan.
In today’s society, it often feels like a stigma comes with standing out from the crowd. We live in a world where blending in has become the norm, and being unique is seen as “weird” or strange.
But here’s the thing: being different isn't something we should be ashamed of--in fact, it can be liberating! From fashion to career paths, embracing your individuality can open up entirely new worlds you never knew were available to explore.
So if you've ever felt like an outsider for not fitting into any 'box,' know there's nothing wrong with embracing who you are and setting yourself apart from everyone else! Listen to this episode now and learn why being different is okay.
