"I am too much. Too confusing. I do too many things. I don’t make sense. No one knows what to do with me." EXACTLY!!! I'm so glad this piece found me today. Perfect takeaways at the perfect time for me in my creative journey. Thank you, Tami and Valorie!

Oh I am so glad, Meg! I read this Glennon Doyle quote today and it seemed pretty perfect. So, from one multitude to another: "Bring all of yourself to life. And if you're told you're "too much," smile and think: Maybe. Or maybe their capacity is too small."

Thank you for having me, Valorie! I think about redefining success all the time, but more and more, I'm realizing that's not truly possible without also redefining failure...or at least reframing it. I love that you're creating open book conversations to make it way less scary and way more possible to do that. Because we've all been there.

Thank you for giving such thoughtful answers, Tami! It is great having people be open to talking more and more about the part rejection plays in the overall path toward success.
