For most of us, there is a tight network of parents, aunties, uncles, and even neighbors who watch our every move, ensuring that we are well behaved, whatever that means. Alicia felt the same pressures growing up.
Her parents raised her to be fiercely independent outside of the home. But when her parents spoke, they expected her to follow their every command. And this pressure to be subservient, didn't stop at the perfume she wore or the hobbies she chose, it also extended to her parents’ desires of what she studied in high school and beyond.
If you’ve ever felt pressured into pursuing a specific path in fear of letting your elders down, this episode is for you. Although Alicia doesn’t have the job security of a doctor, lawyer, or even her former roles, she’s making more money than she’s ever made. Alicia and I dig deep in our conversation as we place our fingers on the pulse of what it means to redefine rejection, finding beauty and joy in failure and resilience, and discovering who you are all while staying true to yourself.
The Three Things This Episode Will Teach You:
- How to find the joy in failure
- Redefining rejection and finding the beauty in resilience and rest
- Moving away from the need to be strong and finding comfort in being soft
