“It’s okay as an outsider to go against the grain when you’re an outsider or you are a rebel sheep you tend to be an agitator or a catalyst. You’re here to see and do things that most people don’t want to see or do. You’re here to be unconventional “
– Kelly Martin
Have you every felt like the black sheep in your family? Or simply feel like an outsider in life?
In this podcast I talk being the black sheep, being the rainbow sheep, being the outsider, the wanderer the shaman on the edge of the village that does things differently.
If you want to embrace being different and struggle with it at the moment, this podcast is for you. We can’t all be insiders, feeling like we are part of the tribe, some of us are meant to stand out and you may be one of these people.
Highlights from the episode:
- How it can take time to accept the outsider or ‘being different’ status
- Why embracing your unusual and eccentric ways is important
- Why you are a catalyst and a changemaker
- How embracing your unique ideas and ways is the key to bringing your special light to this world
