For a long time, I thought something was wrong with me.
I was
Too compassionate for metrics-only success.
Too forward-thinking for “this is how we’ve always done it.”
Too different for places that rewarded sameness.
Too nuanced for black-and-white thinking.
Too questioning for “just follow the rules” environments.
Too curious to accept answers that didn’t serve kids.
For years, I tried to figure out where I belonged — or what I needed to tone down so I could fit.
And then one year, watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, something clicked.
Every character who thought they were a misfit — Rudolph, Hermey, Yukon, believed they were the problem.
Too different. Too disruptive. Too much.
But the truth was simple:
Their difference was the very thing the world needed.
Rudolph didn’t save the day despite his red nose.
He saved it because of it.
That’s where the idea of Misfit Magic was born for me.
I wasn’t meant to live inside one system, role, or label.
I was meant to work in the overlap, where compassion meets structure, curiosity meets clarity, and people matter more than checkboxes.
That’s what this Misfit Magic Venn Diagram represents.
It’s how I help teens, parents, and educators turn anxiety, overwhelm, and self-doubt into understanding, connection, and confidence, without asking them to erase who they are.
I don’t help people fit in.
I help them understand themselves so they can build a life where they belong.
If you’ve ever felt like a misfit, there is NOT something wrong with you.
Your magic might just live in the overlap too.
Which line resonated with you — or which “misfit” moment from your life still sticks with you?
