Often, we spend so much time trying to be perfect that we don't realize we're stressing ourselves out unnecessarily. Recently, I've experienced some events that have made me go back and rethink what it means to be perfect--it also made me question why I was putting so much emphasis on being perfect. I found myself being reminded that perfect doesn’t exist. So, I want to share with you today a few thoughts to ponder on as it relates to being [not] perfect--rethinking expectations for yourself and others in your life.

Fall 2020: Session 131 (Where are they now? The First-Gen Lounge Reunion)

The First-Gen Lounge, an award-winning podcast, is the&nbsp;FIRST show of its kind and #1 in the world for first-generation scholars and professionals. It is a place where we come to kick it and talk honestly about all things life. You’ll cry. You’ll laugh. You’ll grow… and you’ll be inspired while listening to motivating stories and valuable lessons from fellow first-gens. In every session, you’re going to get practical strategies for becoming the best version of yourself. From entrepreneurship, mentorship, graduate school advice, boosting productivity, finances, networking, facing adversity, and changing the world around you—we chat about it all (you can expect quite a few laughs, too)! More importantly, here YOU WILL find a strong community that will encourage you to keep growing each day—we’re people who break barriers and defy the odds but understand there is still much ahead of us; therefore, leaning on, and learning from, each other is what we do. So, go ahead and grab a seat, get real comfortable, and join the conversations every Thursday at 9pm EST! Learn more at www.thefirstgenlounge.com. #TheFirstGenLounge Hosted on Acast.
