STOP TRYING TO FIT IN: a conversation about what makes us special

Amanda Blair is a Daily Differentness Ambassador, a coach, a mentor
and now a published author. Her book “Limited edition of one” is a philosophy on how to stop fitting in and start living your most true and unique life. “At other times, the pain had gone very deep. I seemed to load more and more pressure on myself to “get it right”. The result was often a feeling of rejection
and therefore failure.

A few times I’d exchanged my London second-hand-shop
look for the corporate kit, complete with killer heels, to get my foot in the door
of financial PR in New York. For whatever reason (perhaps that I don’t like
numbers?), it didn’t work. I’d cooked local recipes badly in France to build a
social life and ended up with nothing but leftovers. Even “success” had brought
failure sometimes. Like when I made a good job of pretending to adore Wagner
while living in Germany and ended up editing someone’s 80-page thesis on him.”

Amanda lived in 7 different countries for prolonged periods of time and is an expert of “when in Rome, do as the Romans do”. Until she discovered how much good “standing out” can do for us. In this conversation, we dive deep into why humans have such a strong desire to be unique and just like everyone else at the same time. We also talk about pink flamingos and why really hard life experiences have truly magical healing powers.
