Hi Suzy. I am enjoying your Becoming You Podcast very much. I was also born in Portland years ago and transplanted in NY back in the late 80's. You posed a few questions that I frankly have not asked myself in any real way. I am a graphic designer by trade and enjoy my work very much. I was however laid off from a prominent beauty industry employer a few years ago, but with severance and such. Although it still hits you in the gut, can you talk about the difference in being laid off as opposed to being fired? If there is any.
You're an alpha female, aren't you? People often try to get you to be more submissive, around male gender, around hot topics, but you're a natural leader. When others shame you, it only distracts you from being your true self. You value kindness and decency, but you shouldn't let others try to turn you into a beta. Sometimes it's okay to assert yourself, and then adjust your approach as needed. For instance, you might speak up when someone tries to cut in front of you in a food line, but do so in a way that's firm yet gracious.
