EP50: The Courage to Ditch Self-Sabotage [Personal Story & Inspo]

Ditch the Struggle with Alana Ruoso

In this episode of Ditch the Struggle we dive into:

• That time in college (Ontario College of Art & Design) that I dug deep to create a "win" for myself--despite wanting to curl up in a ball and hide from the world forever
• Low self-esteem, self-sabotage, panic attacks and migraines
• Navigating my parent's nasty divorce (that took 15 years)
• Getting triggered by my packaging design teacher and feeling like a failure
• The trauma of being a student of a very famous Canadian graphic designer instructor (he designed the CBC logo)
• Not quitting when you really, really want something
• The courage to finally admit to yourself that you DO want to achieve a goal at all costs
