Why do you struggle to fit in when you are born to stand out? Our featured guest for this podcast is a fully expressed actress, model, voice-over artist, podcast host, and content creator. Meet Lauren Aparicio. For many years, she had been working behind the scenes in the entertainment industry because the fear of failure kept pulling her back from pursuing her dream of being an actress. Now, she learns to focus on herself, to fully shine on her own, and does the things that make her happy. Let us get to know more about Lauren and vibrate her strength and energy: The Struggle to Fit In [4:21] “Stop hiding yourself.” The Shift [12:40] “When doing your passion and you’re done with it, are you drained or energized?” Being a Multi-Hyphenate [15:30] “What’s mine is mine and anything not mine I send into the light.” Every thing is relative [17:10] “It’s about impact.” Closure [22:30] “Stop trying to meet people where they’re at.” The Lack Mindset vs. The Abundant Mindset [25:33] “Reframe everything.” Routines and Burnouts [31:29] “Even the routine can become redundant and it will burn you out.” Trauma Dumping [34:45] “Your friends and family can’t solve your relationship. Only you can do that.” Reinvent and Reset [49:36] “Be consistent but recognize where you need to slow down.” Collaboration and Support [1:03:00] “I don’t need to ask permission for something I felt in my heart.” It took Lauren a long time before saying that she was proud of herself because she had been so busy worrying what other people may feel if she did the things she loves. Now that she has decided to choose herself over people’s opinions, she is not only happy in what she does but also shows up better for other people. Prioritizing yourself is never a selfish thing to do. Instead, self-love prepares you for your relationships. Don’t try to fit in and limit yourself to society’s standards. To fit in is saying “no” to becoming the greatest you can be. Choose to be full and happy because you deserve the best.
