How many times have other people tried to tell you who you are, or what you can and can’t be? Whether coming from a well-intentioned parent or a hyper-critical boss, an overly competitive or catty “friend,” or someone else who just doesn’t “get” you, people love telling us why we should stay in our lane, why our dreams are out of reach, or worse, why we aren’t “enough” in some way.
