This week we’re talking about owning our mess ups!  We all make them; we’re humans, therefore not invincible or perfect!

So in this episode, I’m really about expelling this myth that polished/edited versions of us get the most likes/recognition/bonding/acceptance, etc, because it’s not true!   What people want is raw, authentic, vulnerable and real!     Editing and airbrushing ourselves should be banned because it just doesn’t reflect reality, so who wins?

I’m going to fess up to some of my own silly bloopers which I hope will make you feel better about holding onto yours as part of your comedy moments, your bonding stories, and most importantly your chance to realise that making errors or faux pas does not equate to relegation from the human race.  In fact, silliness and idiosyncrasies makes you a very permanent and prominent team player!  Why?   Because we all have blunders, bloopers and misdemeanours so let’s own them and hold our heads up high and bond on our ridiculous moments! 

I’ll also give you a whistle stop tour of the psychology behind conforming to peer groups, standards, and norms and what that means from a belonging and identity perspective.  So by the end of this episode I hope you won’t flinch next time you make a clanger, but chalk it up as a noteworthy story!
