Summary

Let’s talk about something a little uncomfortable - but incredibly common. Copying other people. Not intentionally. Not maliciously. Just… unconsciously doing things the way your mentors, peers, or industry say you should. In this week’s Chill & Prosper, I’m unpacking where copycatting shows up most often - and how to gently break free from it without shame or embarrassment.
