#308: Who Made These Rules? (And WHY are we still following them?)
Manage episode 509140506 series 2632297
Have you ever felt like you were doing everything “right” — checking every box, following every rule — and still ending up restless, disappointed, or wondering, Is this really the life I want?
In today’s episode, we’re talking about something many of us rule-followers were never taught how to do: questioning authority.
We’ll unpack:
Where the formulas and “life scripts” we’ve been following actually came from
How to recognize when a leader, community, or cultural voice doesn’t deserve authority in your life
A practical vetting process for deciding who should get a seat at your table
What to do when a leader you trusted lets you down
How to quiet the noise of other people’s expectations and hear your own voice again
If you’ve ever felt crushed by the weight of doing what you’re “supposed” to do, this episode will help you take a deep breath, release the old scripts, and start writing a life that truly fits.
