From Identity Crisis to Industry Disruptor: 5 Ways to Reclaim Your Mojo

We've all been there – that nagging feeling of uncertainty, of questioning who we are and what we're meant to be doing with our lives. It's an identity crisis, and it can leave even the most confident and accomplished glitterbombs feeling lost and unmotivated.

But here's the thing, glitterbomb: an identity crisis doesn't have to mean hard-stop for your ambitions. In fact, it can be the catalyst that propels you to reclaim your mojo and emerge as a force to be reckoned with.

Here’s five powerful ways to do it:

1. Embrace Color: Let Your Truest Self Shine

When you’re out and about in a world that doesn’t quite get you, it's easy to lose sight of who you really are. But here's the truth: your authenticity is your superpower. Embrace the quirks, passions, and perspectives that make you uniquely you. Shed the masks and armor, and let your true self shine through. By owning your truest, most colorful self, you'll attract like-minded individuals and opportunities that resonate with your genuine umami-ness.

2. Get Curious About Your "Why": Rediscover Your Purpose

At the heart of every identity crisis lies a deeper question: "Why am I doing this?" Take this opportunity to get curious about your "why" – the driving force that fuels your ambitions and passions. Explore your values, priorities, and the impact you want to make. When you reconnect with your "why," you'll find renewed motivation and clarity, propelling you towards a path that aligns with your true purpose.

3. Rewrite Your Narrative: You're the Author of Your Story

It's easy to get caught up in negative self-talk and limiting beliefs. But here's the truth: you are the author of your own story. Consciously, actively rewrite the narrative that defines you. Challenge the shit that's holding you back, and replace it with empowering affirmations that reflect your true potential. Embrace the power of self-talk and use it to craft a narrative that inspires and uplifts you.

4. Cultivate a Growth Mindset: Learning Something Weird

Disruptors and leaders share one common trait: a growth mindset. They understand that growth is a journey, not a destination. Embrace this messy middle – The Funknown (™) - by stepping out of your comfort zone, trying new things, and embracing the challenges that come your way. Each experience is an opportunity to grow, evolve, and expand your perspectives, bringing you closer to reclaiming your mojo and becoming an industry disruptor.

5. Build Your Tribe: Surround Yourself with Kindred Misfits

These adventures are easier when you have a coalition of glitterbombs by your side. Seek out individuals who inspire and uplift you – those who see your potential and encourage you to reach for greatness. Surround yourself with kindred misfits who share your values and ambitions. You'll create a powerful network of support, accountability, and collective inspiration, propelling each other toward the next level of success and fulfillment.

It's Not a Dealbreaker, It's an Opportunity

Navigating an identity crisis can be challenging, but it's also an incredible opportunity for reinvention and adventure; an opportunity to disrupt the status quo. By embracing your authenticity, rediscovering your purpose, rewriting your narrative, cultivating a growth mindset, and building a coalition of glitterbombs, you'll reclaim your mojo and step into your role as an industry disruptor.

Remember, you can shape your destiny and leave an indelible mark on the world around you. Embrace the journey, trust the process, and watch your identity crisis transform into a catalyst for greatness.
