Chapter three of Worthy is called You're Not Crazy, You're Just First. The world will ask you who you are and if you don't know, the world will tell you. Carl Jung.

Mom and dad, I have this product idea. It's a pet rock. I think I can sell these and make millions. For those of you who are too young to remember, the pet rock came out in 1975 and was enormously popular. The creator, Gary Dahl, became a millionaire.

But can you imagine the conversations he must have had when he came up with the idea? Can you imagine the doubt and laughter that came his way? Or what about the moment witnesses gathered on the beach to watch the Wright brothers make yet another attempt to fly a machine into the air after hundreds of previous failures? Can you imagine the names they were called, or how misunderstood their genius likely was? Or the person who invented the shake weight?

You know, that product commercial where the guy holds that dumbbell-like weight in front of his abdomen and shakes it back and forth rapidly to get a workout? Note, you should have seen my grandma's face the first time she saw that commercial, because, well, it can look like a lot of other things other than shaking a weight. Who knew that invention would be such a huge, climactic success? These innovative people were probably all called words like crazy at some point along the way, but they were just first, and so are you.

Confession. I have been called crazy most of my life, most often by people who loved me and used it as a term of endearment because they didn't know what else to say. I was the one who thought differently, the one who always had the big, wild ideas to challenge or fix the world's problems, the one who dreamed of going to faraway places and was willing to work enough jobs to make it happen, the one who never felt like I fit in, even when I tried desperately. to, the one who believed that where I come from doesn't have to determine where I'm going and challenged my family with questions like, what's stopping people like us from having success like that? The one who got teased for being the only person at my party not drinking alcohol on my 21st birthday because I was scared to death of repeating the generational cycle of addiction.

After years of being called words like crazy, I couldn't help but to start wondering if I was. I began trying desperately to feel like I belonged and did whatever I could to feel less alone and more enough. I mastered dimming my own light to make people around me feel comfortable, but I was left feeling empty and even more alone. Then, in my 20s, I swung the pendulum in an entire different direction and spent a few decades overachieving, confusing the world's approval and celebration with love, but neither overperforming nor dimming filled the void of not enoughness I felt inside. When they called me words like crazy, I told myself it just meant I was misunderstood, but I secretly wondered if they were right.

In my 20s, following all the rules the world told me to, I planned to get married before I was ready. Then I started having panic attacks. I fell into depression. My adoption, coupled with divorces in my family, means I actually have five families, and no one in any of those families had ever gone to therapy that I was aware of or had even spoken about mental health. In the environment where I was raised, the solution was to avoid talking about hard things, to bury them deep down inside until they went away, or just to ignore that they existed altogether.

I was the first one in my family's and peer group to seek therapy. Between the health insurance that my job gave me and my savings, I figured out how I could afford to go, and I was in so much anguish that I couldn't afford not to. The first appointment I had with my therapist changed the course of my life forever. After explaining to her all the ways I felt different and like I didn't belong, I also let her know I had big, bold dreams and wild ideas, and I felt like I had more potential than the person I was allowing myself to be. I told her that I felt like I was made to do different things from what I needed to do to belong, and that I was dimming my own light on my ambitions and even my personality, because I felt like something was wrong with me.

And now I was supposed to be marrying someone I loved, but I was scared. How could I know if marriage was right for me when I'd seen it be wrong for so many people in my family? After my therapist diagnosed my panic attacks and depression, I point-blank asked her, My whole life I've been called crazy or different, or too ambitious, or strange, or out there. Am I crazy? She replied, No, you're not crazy, but I'm really glad you're here.

And she proceeded to explain how, when we're the first ones in our peer groups, family, or community to challenge the status quo, it can feel very isolating. When we're the first or only one to feel differently, we can feel othered. When we don't morph who we truly are to fit in and we show up authentically, it can be worrisome to others who live in a comfort zone where fitting in is the path to acceptance. When we're the first to break the mold of our conditioned belief system, it can come with loneliness, stress, and trauma. She then explained how, when we live out of alignment with who we truly are in order to fit in, we actually live divided.

And that division also comes at great expense to our mental and physical health. It all made so much sense. And then it hit me, like a light bulb, so instantly hot it burst, I'm not crazy, I'm just first. I felt this aha moment in my soul, a truth that had just set me free, like the weight of self-judgment had been just lifted off my shoulders for the first time in my life. I'm not wrong, I'm just first.

I'm not bad, I'm just first. I'm not broken, I'm just first. I'm not a mistake, I'm just first. I'm not off course, I'm just first. I'm the first me, and you are the first you.

And if we bravely live as our authentic essence, we are first. If you live your life authentically, you're automatically first, because there is only one of you in the entire universe. So if you're wondering if you actually are first, you are, or at least you are every day in which you're true to your one of a kind self. Because there's only one of you in the entire universe, just one person in existence, with your thoughts, with your life experience, with your DNA, with your fingerprints, with your unique heartbeat. Yep, we actually each have a unique heartbeat.

And even with your individual tongue print, yep, we each have unique tongue prints too, then every thought, decision, and action you choose for the rest of your life is coming from someone who is first. When you dare to live fully authentically as the first you, it can easily be confused with feeling odd or misunderstood, or awkward or lonely. And definitely not enough. And when we feel these things, the biggest temptation is to hide and change who we truly are, so that we feel like we fit in. In fact, this is most people's strategy, their entire lives, because they don't realize they're just first.

So they think they're inadequate and need to change who they are, or show up as another version of themselves to be loved. But being first isn't what's wrong with you. It's what's right with you. What are the parts of you and your personality that aren't crazy? They're just first, because they're uniquely you.

It takes courage to be the real you. And it's also the only path you'll ever find to true freedom. It takes risk to be the real you. And it's also the only possibility of experiencing true purpose. It takes vulnerability to be the real you.

And it's also the only place you'll experience true love. Showing up in this world as all of who you are tastes like freedom. The people who dare to be first, who courageously embrace their innate firstness, are the ones who can change the course of their families forever. They're the ones who decide to stop people pleasing and actually say how they feel. They're the ones who learn to stop doubting their own uniqueness and decide to embrace who they truly are.

They're the ones who might set different examples for their kids than their families set for them. The ones who might challenge injustices and liberate truth. They're the ones who might say, I want more for myself, my family, and my world, and then dare to believe it's possible. They're the ones who break addictions and generational cycles. The ones who say, this doesn't make sense in my soul.

I'm challenging that belief system. They're the ones who help heal others by first healing themselves. They're the ones who courageously share their ideas and offerings, no matter the criticism that might come. They're the ones who change things in their families for generations to come. They're the ones who change industries.

They're the ones who change the world. When I realized this truth, it helped me change the meaning I attach to how I feel about who I was. It helped me reestablish my own identity, from one that was disempowered to one that was emboldened. From one that felt ashamed of who I was to one that felt liberated for all that I am. Be authentic, even if it means standing alone.

Maybe you're the first in your family or peer group to dream big, to vote or love differently, to dare to take a risk or to break a generational cycle. Maybe you're the first to want a life or belief system that's different from the one you were raised around. When you're the first, it can also be so tempting to feel like something's wrong with you or like you were made defective. It becomes tempting, and for so many people a habit, to show up in rooms, in your job, and even in relationships, dimming your light and hiding in plain sight. To live your life as only part of who you are, but not as all of who you are.

To live your life as only part of who you are, but not as all of who you are. We crave belonging and fear being alone, but we often don't realize that standing all alone authentically is less lonely than standing with others who have no idea who we truly are. How many times have you felt like you were desperately overworking to try and feel enough? Showing up as the person you thought others wanted you to be to get their stamp of approval. Showing up as your representative, thinking that this representative is who you need to become to be successful.

This is living in a divided state, divided from your true self, and that can take a toll not only on your joy, but also your physical and emotional health, as well as your connection with others in your personal and professional relationships. In one study, 40% of people reported that they censor what they say because they worry that voicing their opinions would create distance between them and the people they care about. But voicing opinions when they're authentic creates connection. Psychologist Serena Chen, who is the chair of the psychology department at UC Berkeley, defines authenticity as when people feel like they can be their true self, the authentic person is comfortable in their own skin, they're vulnerable, they're not afraid to look silly or to admit mistakes. Chen adds that authenticity is correlated with well-being and satisfaction with life.

Plus, when we're authentic, we don't alienate people. On the contrary, it's good for bonding and generating closeness. We need to stop hiding who we are from others and from ourselves. If you're like me and you've spent most of your life only showing up as part of who you are, or showing up the way that you know others want you to in a situation, then, like me, you'll have a lot of unlearning to do. There are so many lies that make hiding attractive, and so many truths that make hiding feel justified.

And unfortunately, there are so many ways hiding hurts us in our lives. There's so much more coming up in this episode. You are not going to want to miss it. But first, I wanted to share this with you. In life, you don't soar to the level of your hopes and dreams.

You stay stuck at the level of your self-worth. When you build your self-worth, you change your entire life. And that's exactly why I wrote my new book, Worthy, How to Believe You Are Enough and Transform Your Life for You. If you have some self-doubt to destroy and a destiny to fulfill, Worthy is for you. In Worthy, you'll learn proven tools and simple steps that bring life-changing results, like how to get unstuck from the things holding you back, build unshakable self-love, unlearn the lies that lead to self-doubt and embrace the truths that wake up worthiness, overcome limiting beliefs and imposter syndrome, achieve your hopes and dreams by believing you are worthy of them, and so much more.

Are you ready to unleash your greatness and step into the person you were born to be? Imagine a life with zero self-doubt and unshakable self-worth.

While we often learn that the things that make us different from everyone else are the things we should fix or hide, the lesson I've learned firsthand so many times is that those things that make you authentic and different are actually the things you should embrace and expand the most.

I know. this feels counter to what most of us have learned. When we courageously take steps toward unlearning the lies and gaining awareness of the truths, and assessing the impact of living our lives in ways that are inauthentic, disconnected, numb, people pleasing and out of alignment with who we truly are, we begin our journey of going from unseen to seen. From invisible to visible, from disconnected to connected, from doubting ourselves to trusting ourselves, from craving love to realizing we already are love. My good friend, Ed Milet, entrepreneur and bestselling author, shares an incredible business and sales analogy that applies to life.

even if you aren't in sales. He says, people don't have to believe in what you're actually selling. They just have to believe that you believe in what you're selling. Worthiness works the same way. Here's what I mean.

People don't have to understand you or believe in you to connect with you. They just have to believe you understand and you believe in you. If you know deep down inside that you're showing up as someone different from who you are, then you will emit an energy that reveals that you don't believe in yourself. Because you're not being you. This means you'll not be able to feel a true connection with someone else because you know and they feel that you're not you.

In other words, you have to be you and know you're being the real you. to have true human connection. You have to feel worthy of being who you truly are. Otherwise, no matter how fancy or perfect or conformed you show up, you'll always feel disconnected, and so will they. There's also the other extreme that you see all over social media, where people reveal extremely shocking or vulnerable things in a way that doesn't feel believable.

It's still a form of hiding who you truly are, but behind the confusing persona of someone who, over shares and quote, reveals it all. Showing up fully and revealing who you truly are, with the intention of connection and love is very different from confusing attention with love and trying to reveal things in hopes of calling for attention. Showing up authentically in hopes of true connection is very different from ploys to get attention in hopes. it will lead to a feeling of validation or significance. People also sense your intention behind things.

You cannot fake that either. Sometimes you can in the short run, but never in the long run. In relationships, in business and in life, while authenticity alone doesn't automatically guarantee success, inauthenticity guarantees failure. When you show up in life as the authentic you, remembering that your first can be a great tool, it can also be a great definition of rejection. When I was building my first company and countless beauty retailers told me no one would buy makeup from images of real women, here is one way I would reframe every rejection in my mind.

Instead of, this, no means I'm never going to make it, I told myself, my idea isn't bad, I'm just first. When, after years of hearing no, and we'd never make it on QVC or never get a shot, we finally got one big shot to go on air on QVC and those expensive consultants told me to do what most every other successful beauty brand was doing, instead of taking a chance on my unique vision, I reminded myself that it only felt risky to them because I was first. I eventually did over 1,000 live shows myself on QVC and in that eight year journey, I saw that very, very few of the thousands of brands and on-air presenters ever hit the sales numbers needed to make it past one show, let alone be invited back. When I look at what it was that the very few who made it had in common, it wasn't that they had the best product or the most adored, well-known or well-funded brand. It wasn't how good a deal or discount they were offering.

The only thing that the very few who made it over the years had in common was that they were authentic when they were selling on camera and they were the same on air while selling on live TV as they were off air, behind the scenes, even while no one was watching. This was consistent, no matter what personality style they had or even how likable they were. You cannot fake authenticity, and authenticity is truly the only way to form deep, true connections, in person or through a screen, with friends and in business. Because at IT Cosmetics, we stayed the course. We were authentic.

We were a novel. We were first at what we were doing. It meant we were misunderstood among the beauty industry insiders for many years until we weren't. It meant we were outsiders until we were celebrated. It meant we were considered strange for many years until we were copied over and over.

It meant we endured countless rejections until we were all of a sudden courted. It meant we were broke and barely getting by until we were outselling everyone else. It meant we were underestimated until we became unstoppable. It meant we heard over and over, your idea is never going to work until we heard you're number one in the beauty industry. There's an until waiting for you too.

I've never been afraid to march to the beat of my own drum, and I'm starting to really like the sound of it. Trent Shelton.

Reframe your individuality. What if the thing you thought was odd or quirky, or unique or wrong with you is actually one of the greatest things? that's right with you? When you reframe your uniqueness as a great thing, a strength, an adventure, an exclusive qualification, courageousness, a novel gift, you start to reframe your own perception of it and start to associate your own identity with those more empowering words. It's a powerful tool to boost not only your belief in yourself, but also what you hold to be true about your own identity and worth.

When you change the meaning you attach to the part of your uniqueness you previously may have been tempted to hide, you change your life. If you're comfortable with yourself and know yourself, you're going to shine and radiate and other people are going to be drawn to you. Dolly Parton. If you're like me, you've been called words like strange or odd, or crazy, or fill in the blank, and if you haven't yet, you might experience being called them when you start showing up fully as who you are. Try replacing these words with words like first, or trailblazer, or visionary, or brave, or unique, or one of a kind, because they actually begin to impact who you believe you are.

See, one of the strongest forces in our human nature and in our belief system is the need to remain consistent with our own identity or how we identify ourselves. This means that if you're believing something to be true about who you are, your brain scans and highlights proof around you that reinforces that belief. So, when you label your uniqueness with words that are disempowering, you then live out those words and that identity. If you label your uniqueness or firstness with words like crazy, weird, strange, unlovable, outcast, broken, flawed, then you will hide that part of you at all costs or, worse, will identify with those words and believe that's who you are. You'll form a negative, limiting belief around your uniqueness.

But when you reframe your uniqueness as a great thing, a strength, an adventure, an exclusive qualification, a celebration of your courage, a novel gift, you reframe your own perception of it and start to associate your identity with those more empowering words. If you're lucky enough to be different, never change. Taylor Swift.

When we live our life hiding from our firstness and uniqueness, believing it's a negative thing, dimming our light, underestimating our own abilities, playing it small, confusing approval for love, or people pleasing our way off our path, we actually risk talking ourselves out of our own truth and never becoming the person we're born to be. I have two questions for you that only you can answer. Who would you be if you lived your life embracing your firstness and all of who you authentically are? How freeing would it be if you decided to live the answer?

Take off your armor, dare to be vulnerable, dare to unwrap yourself and dare yourself to be yourself. Maria Shriver.

You, right now, exactly as you are, are first. You are the only person in the entire universe who has your fingerprints, your toe, prints, your irises in your eyes. Yep, there is no one else like you with these. And those are just a few of the characteristics on the outside. Your unique characteristics on the inside and in your thoughts and emotions are infinite.

When you are authentic to who you truly are, you are first. And while it's tempting to hide, play it safe, be small, dim your light, or show up like everyone else in hopes they'll love you, you can't experience deeply connected, true love unless you're truly you. Hiding your uniqueness might feel safe, but you won't ever be able to impact and serve the world the way you're created to. There is only one of you and there will only ever be one of you. So be you.

Be the best you. Be the most fully alive you. The quirkiest you. The most outspoken you. The silliest you.

The bravest you. The boldest you. The fully loving you. The most spectacular you there has ever been. Be the one truly.

only, be the one true, only ever. you who is first. I wrote a poem called You're Not Crazy, You're Just First, from my soul to yours. that I would love to share with you.

You're not crazy, you're just first. Who do you think you are? They say. Things like that aren't for people like us. Why are you going around changing?

Planning to leave us in the dust? Are you forgetting where you come from? Are we not good enough anymore? And just like that, the temptation to play life small feels more comfortable than before. If you're doubting, you're enough, your thoughts, their words, have got you down.

It's time for your soul to tell your mind. there's a new boss in town. See, there's no one else quite like you in the entire universe. And what your soul knows is you're not crazy, you're just first. The first to have your hopes and dreams.

The first you there's ever been. So don't be surprised if they don't get you or try to shame you to fit in. They call you odd, strange, different, for having dreams bigger than they can see because those dreams weren't given to them. They see them through fear and anxiety. And even the well-intentioned people who love you to the bone can see you pursuing your dreams as a reminder of them not fulfilling their own.

If people like people who are like them, hiding your true self, a comfort zone. But a calling unexpressed inside of you, leaves you feeling anguished and alone. Even inside of your own home. They call you words like crazy and say we stick together for better or for worse. But what your knowing knows is you're not crazy, you're just first.

The first to launch the business, to dust your dreams off of the shelf. The first to believe you're worthy of betting on yourself. The first to beat addiction, to live life sober and awake. The first to end that generational cycle that you know you're born to break. The first to start healing.

The first to forgive, so you'll be free. The first to love others for who they are, not for who you wish they'd be. The first to be a visionary, to dream up the screenplay that you'll write. The first to recognize your gifts and stop hiding in plain sight. The first man in your family to say, I deal with self-doubt too.

The first mom to say, no, I'm not okay and I don't know what to do. The first in generations to love your body and celebrate it joyfully, to prove it. To know that it's a miracle in motion and what a gift it is to move it. The first to risk rejection, to speak your truth with vigor. Knowing the opposition might be big, but your creator is bigger.

The first to cheer yourself on and truly believe it, not just fake it. Knowing that most people won't cheer for you until after you make it. In class, they used to pick you last and now they're at a loss. Because instead of calling you employee, they now call you boss. The first to stand up for the outcast and say, stop teasing.

I just won't. You might be tempted to underestimate me, but let me save you some time. Don't. The first to say, you broke my heart. You gave up on me for something else.

And it took me a while to know I'm worthy of believing in myself. And what I know is, yeah, you hurt me, but I'm not rejected. See, God just hid my value from you because you're not assigned to my destiny. The first to recognize your circle looks a lot more like a cage. The first to say, dad, will you love me for me?

And, grandma, I was born this way. The first to turn your pain into purpose, using the parts that were most rough to help guide others on their journey of feeling less alone and more enough. The first to say, let's agree to disagree. We all have the right to free speech too. Stop trying to cancel and hate on others just because you're hurting too.

The first to believe in your dreams, even when others might not get you, then one day love them anyways, when they're bragging to people how they met you. The first to unlearn the lie, you're not enough unless you keep striving and achieving. It is a lie that leads to nowhere. And one, it's time to stop believing. The truth is, accomplishments are great, but to know you're worthy, you don't need them.

And when we know something is true, it feels like joy and tastes like freedom. You are not your successes. You're not. how many times you fail or fall. You are how big you love, and love is free for all.

See, when we fear, we're not enough and we fear even more, we won't be loved. It is so tempting to shrink in size and trade in our purpose for their hugs. But when you're feeling like you don't fit in or that you never quite belong, your uniqueness is your superpower. Your truth is never wrong. So when they criticize to hold you back because your dreams aren't what they're used to and they're afraid that you'll outgrow them, leave them behind or that they'll lose, you, stop asking for their advice if they've never been there themselves.

Because when you people please for others, you end up betraying yourself. And when doubt tempts you to dim your light, always remember this verse. Your soul knows you were made for more with so much purpose it can burst. You're born with greatness inside you. And whether it's a blessing or a curse, the world won't be better until your greatness is dispersed.

See, there's only one of you in the entire universe. And your knowing knows deep down. you're not crazy. You're just first.
