Embrace your inner weirdo vs Writing Identity

The experiences and stories of Rasheed Hooda are priceless.

The experiences and stories of Rasheed Hooda are priceless. Years ago, a supervisor called me a cranky cynic, because when he showed me something that was the latest fix that would solve all our problems, I would look at him, and say, "Yeah whatever." The person who called me Cranky Cynic thought he was funny, but I am the one laughing at him. My definition of the Cranky Cynic is very much synonymous to Rasheed Hooda's definition of a Weirdo. The Embrace Your Inner Weirdo community, looks cool to me! I've always challenged the status quo, wanting to scream at people who used phrases like "that's the way we've always done it." Rasheed Hooda's encourages critical thinking and an open mind.

real Community

It's a real Community (not just a sales lounge some 'community' can be). Warm. Interesting mix of people.

After interviewing Rasheed I discovered his community on Skool

After interviewing Rasheed I discovered his community on Skool - he is personally an amazing and interesting human being. He has truly embraced the concept of enjoying the experience. The community is a space where we are encouraged to do that too - a space for setting goals/aspirations and then exploring becoming... Rasheed creates a space for real transformation, helping people challenge old paradigms, reinvent themselves, and design a life that feels aligned with who they truly are. What I appreciate most is that the focus isn't on hustling harder or grinding longer. It's about creating freedom through awareness, intentional choices, and a willingness to see life differently and embrace your inner weirdo If you're looking for support, fresh perspectives, and a community that encourages you to live life on your terms, you'll find it here.

Amazing Community and Mentorship

Alli has created something really special in The Village. Between the daily prompts, classroom, weekly zoom calls, and her 1:1 mentorship; it is a space where I feel free to be myself, write ugly without judgment, and feel genuinely supported and encouraged to hear my own voice again. I have been working 1:1 with Alli and have learned so much about myself. She has helped me put words to things I had been feeling for a long time but wasn’t able to explain. She has created and shared tools to help me work through my emotions and finding myself again. Alli has been so thoughtful, supportive, and intuitive from the very beginning, and I feel truly seen and understood. I highly recommend Alli and her community!

Alli Gatlin knows what she's talking about

Alli Gatlin knows what she's talking about. Her journaling advice and written prompts are excellent, but what proved even more valuable to me was talking with her one-on-one. The combination of encouragement and plain-spoken truths she delivered allowed me to overcome the worst of my self-doubt and really embrace a sense of confidence. Highly recommend.

Alli is a professional writer and a great person!
