"You're Not a Good Fit": A Conversation with My Mom

In this heartfelt episode of The Fitzen Project, I sit down with my mom, Gwen Fitzpatrick, for a deeply personal and inspiring conversation. She opens up about a moment that shook her confidence—being told she was "not a good fit"—and how those words, though painful at the time, became one of the most powerful teachings of her life. We explore how rejection can lead to redirection, the emotional journey behind those words, and how embracing the unexpected can shape who we become. This is a story about resilience, perspective, and the quiet wisdom that only time—and a mother—can offer.Lotus and LunaUse promo code Fitzen at checkout for 20% off (sale items not included)Liforme Yoga MatsUse code FitZen at checkout for a discount!RageCreate | Affirmations|Oracles & moreThere are over 1 million of our affirmation cards floating around the world.
