Here are 3 empowering life lessons from Wednesday, the new Netflix spinoff of The Addams Family.

1. Embrace your weird. There’s no point in fitting in if you can’t be your most authentic self. 

2. Speak your mind. There’s power in communicating honestly and directly, even though occasionally the truth can slice like a knife. 

3. Be strong enough to survive alone, but open up enough to let people in. Boundaries are healthy, but you have to let your guard down to truly find your tribe.
