In part 3 of The Big 4 - Why failure is so hard women, we dig into what happens when your authentic self comes up against your need to be accepted.
“Fitting in is about assessing a situation and becoming who you need to be to be accepted. Belonging, on the other hand, doesn’t require us to change who we are; it requires us to be who we are.” - Dr. Brene Brown
