How would you feel if people noticed you as weird and exotic other than special? It's so frustrating, right? I know that feeling of "I don't fit in" in a group or community pretty well. Truth be told, we don't want to be different, but we desire to be recognized for our uniqueness.

In this episode, I'll share my personal experience of my struggles with people seeing me as different and not as a unique and special human, how it may show up and impact empaths like you and me, and how to shift that perspective and have confidence in showing your best self.

Highlights of this episode:

• The uncomfortable feeling of being different
• Having the desire to be seen for what makes you unique
• Highlighting the wrong kind of setting people apart
• Discover what makes people feel truly special; and
• Learn to celebrate every person's uniqueness
