This episode is one of my most personal yet where I share more about growing up as a transracial adoptee and how I learned that hiding and becoming invisible and being what I thought everyone wanted me to be was my way for avoiding the unpredictability of other people's reactions to me being different. I look at what I'm trying to do in order to become more visible and step into my power. What is working and what I'm still working on during this slow, yet powerful journey to becoming myself.
What I grew up with:
The impact of colour blindness
Being a transracial adoptee
Lack of representation
What I'm learning (and trying)
1. Saying no (or yes)
2. Feeling my emotions
3. Quit over apologising
What I'm learning (and still struggle with)
1. Feeling comfort in my body
2. Comfortable with compliments
3. Comfort with success
4. Putting my needs first
5. Using my voice
