What if the very things you’ve bee

n told to hide or fix are actually the things that make you powerful?

We spend a lot of time trying to ‘fit in’. Whether it’s smoothing the edges of our personality to seem more palatable at work, downplaying our passions to appear “professional”, or masking neurodivergent traits to avoid being seen as “too much” or “not enough”, many of us have internalised the idea that difference is something to manage.

In this post, we’re flipping the script. We’ll explore why embracing your unique strengths — your quirks, your past, your perspective, your wiring — isn’t just brave. It’s strategic. It’s what sets you apart in a world full of sameness. It’s your superpower.
