Letting go of society's expectations isn't easy, and the process can be uncomfortable at first. But once you take those first steps — like experimenting with something new just to see what happens — you open the door to confidence, empowerment, and even productivity. For Sarah, finding her family of weirdos taught her that being different is not just okay, it's something to celebrate!

But once we take those first steps, we open the door to confidence, empowerment, and even productivity." “Finding my family of weirdos taught me that being different is not just okay, it's something to celebrate.” “It's super easy to ruminate on the ways we feel we don't measure up. But imperfection is normal. There's no such thing as perfection. What would happen if we stopped seeing imperfections as flaws and started seeing them as part of what makes us unique? What if we loved ourselves because of our imperfections, not in spite of them?” “Experimenting has helped me discover so much about what makes my brain and my soul feel good. I've tried out different tools and systems and hobbies that have let me learn more about myself and connect with myself at a deeper, soulful level. It's allowed me to let go of the things that don't serve me and make room for the things that do.” Learn more about Sarah Bowser, That Weird, Nerdy MomFollow Sarah on Instagram: @that_weirdnerdymomVisit Sarah’s website: thatweirdnerdymom.comSign up for Sarah's email list: https://thatweirdnerdymom.kit.com/newsletterCheck out Sarah’s “From Mental Chaos to Calm” coaching program: thatweirdnerdymom.com/mentalchaos/ Learn about Sarah’s “Get Your Shit Organized” VIP day: thatweirdnerdymom.com/getyourshitorganized/
