A Call to Authenticity

At its core, Myers’ message challenges the societal expectation that individuals should conform to a certain mold to be accepted. The “Go find less” philosophy encourages people to embrace their uniqueness and reject the notion that they need to change to fit into preconceived standards.

By fostering an environment of empowerment and self-validation, Myers’ message helps individuals realize that their worth is not contingent upon others’ approval. This empowering message has ignited conversations about self-esteem, boundaries, and the importance of surrounding oneself with people who appreciate one’s true self​​.

It’s a reminder that being ‘too much’ is simply a matter of perspective and that there’s a world out there ready to embrace and celebrate your full, authentic self.

The movement surrounding this phrase has shown the power of words to inspire change and foster a community of acceptance and support. By wearing the “Go find less” shirt or hoodie, engaging with Myers’ content, or simply living by the mantra’s principles, individuals can make a stand against conformity and celebrate the beauty of being unapologetically themselves.

In embracing “Go find less,” we find more — more confidence, more authenticity, and more freedom to be who we truly are. It’s a testament to the enduring power of self-acceptance and the transformative impact of owning one’s full, unedited story.
