EP 15 - FINDING YOURSELF and FITTING IN is a Difficult Journey |Nalyn
In today’s episode, we dive deep into one of the most universal struggles we face—fitting in. Nalyn discusses many experiences in her life where she felt the pressures of fitting in, feeling ostracized because you are different, and finding what you want to truly do in life!
Listen in on this friend conversation of navigating self-identity, embracing individuality, and understanding that the path to self-acceptance often requires breaking free from the need for approval. We'll share personal stories, challenges we've faced, and the lessons we've learned along the way. If you've ever felt lost, out of place, or like you're just trying too hard to fit in, this episode is for you! This is also a great chance to listen to some great laughs and fun between two strong friends!
