Do you have a New Years resolution? Ellie's might surprise you. In this Atomic Moms remix of old and new, film actress Teresa Palmer and fitness model/triathlete Angi Greene Fletcher speak up about not apologizing for who you are and not underplaying your skills or blessings for fear of hurting feelings or not being liked. Marianne Williamson writes, "Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do." Let's shine bright in 2016! Follow on social media @atomicmoms. And please share episode with special friends.
