I remember the day vividly when I realized that I had to change who I was in order to fit in with the other moms at my daughter's school. It was like a switch had been flipped, and suddenly I was no longer myself. I was just a version of myself that was palatable to these other women.
At first, it seemed harmless enough. I started dressing differently, wearing more neutral colors and ditching my signature bold lipstick. I tried to talk more about my kids and less about my own interests, even though I felt like I was losing a part of myself in the process.

This is great, Michelle! All 3 prompts are so thought provoking. I plan on reflecting on each. Thank you. 🙏
