Episode #7: We All Want to be Unique, But Not Always Different

Summary: On this episode of the ACT to Live podcast, Scott talks about a friend, who for years, tried to be someone she was not. Jaime and Scott then talk about the pressures and expectations that often exist to be a certain way; and, how many of us can get caught up in what others think about us. Jaime shares a powerful quote by author, Brene Brown, that encompasses the ideas of owning our own story; loving ourselves; and, being brave. Scott and Jaime then talk about one aspect of themselves that they used to wish they could change, but have come to embrace, appreciate, and even accept over time.   ACTion Question of the Week: What is one quality about yourself that you have not always appreciated (and maybe have come to appreciate over the years)? How might you celebrate this uniqueness?  On our next episode of ACT to Live, join us as we sit with the concept of mindfulness!
