EP23: Why I Left the RGD Graphic Design Association [Personal Story]

Ditch the Struggle with Alana Ruoso

In this episode of Ditch the Struggle we dive into:

• Making the (hard) decision to let things go
• Choosing to not renew my RGD graphic design membership, even though I love the organization
• My current obsession with quitting things
• Doing hard things to build confidence
• The collective energy of groups and organizations and checking in to see if that energy is a good fit - truthfully
• Letting go of the "shoulds" in our lives
