I’ve always been too much: Unapologetic, ADHD fueled, dog rescuing, iced red wine drinking, 5-shot shaken espresso hyped…and as one mediocre white guy described me, “an acquired taste.” RIP to that guy.

The moment you step into your Big Deal Energy™️, people will find a reason to hate you. They’ll disagree with you. They’ll leave shitty comments. They’ll try to make you feel small.

Let them.

Their mediocre is not yours to carry, their discomfort with your confidence is a them problem. You aren’t showing up to make everyone comfortable, you’re doing it because being authentically you means something.

And when the haters roll in? Smile; they just proved your point.
