“Find out who you are and do it on purpose.” Dolly Parton

I have a new addiction. Being a coach, I’m not supposed to have those. I should have cleaned all that up by now. But let’s face it - I’m human! I’m hooked on Rock Star Supernova. Dave Navarro - too sexy. Brooke Burke – let’s all say it…smokin’ hot! And the Rock Star wannabe’s…just plain cool. What I love most about watching this show is that uniqueness separates those that shimmer from those that shine.

Take Dilana for example. She has crazy, wild streaked hair, funky clothes and piercing all over the place…yet she does stand out as a true original. Week after week, she continues to show up, 150% alive, fully loaded and outrageously original.

Vs. someone like Jill G., who has great pipes, but uses her sexuality to light up the audience when she really doesn’t need to play the sex card. Or Phil Ritchie, who has a cool voice, but the “shtick” with the head bobble and intense laser-like-suck-your-soul-out staring, seems to be trying a bit too hard.

I’m most turned on by the artisits that are just plain FEELIN’ it. Even if their style isn’t exactly what the band is looking for, they continue to show up raw, authentic and UNIQUE.

But being unique is ballsy. I too am just beginning to blossom into my own unique flower. I mean, if you ask friends who’ve known me forever, they’ll tell you I’ve always been an original. But I haven’t always FELT comfortable in my own skin. However, the more layers I continue to peel and strip away from this blond-haired, blue-eyed onion named Kam…the more at peace I am feeling in reveling in my own uniqueness.

A great mentor sat me down for a pretty stern talking to about 6 months ago. She really railed into me about using my own unique voice and staying true to my own intellectual property. At the time, I was a bit taken aback. But as I continue to refine, tweak and edit ME – my true voice becomes stronger and clearer and more genuine. So I thank her. Her delivery may have bruised a bit, but her message got through loud and clear.

We are all unique, beautiful, and magnificent extensions of the greatest source in the Universe. Let’s do our work to be the BEST version of OURSELVES. Not pretend to be a half-ass version of someone else. We never do them as good as they do themselves anyways. So GO! BE YOU! Be it beautiful, blemished, bold or brassy…BE YOU.

How can you be the most unique version of you today?
