Episode 6: How can we create our own rules & live on our own terms, instead of blindly doing as we’re told?

In this Epsiode the two Steph’s explore our human tendency to think, say & do whatever society tells us we’re “supposed” to.

We unpack social norms surrounding money, time & productivity and we ask questions like:

What do I actually think, feel, believe about how to manage XYZ?
What is society telling me I’m supposed to think, feel, believe about how to manage XYZ?
Do the two stories match up?
Do my actions align more closely with my beliefs or society’s?
How can I reframe the story I’m telling myself and/or shift my actions/words so that I feel more aligned in the way I’m behaving?

By asking questions like these, both Steph’s have - on many occasions - learned to make decisions, approach life & achieve goals in a way that feels right for them...

...rather than just blindly following the rules.

In fact - you’ll see this happen at least once DURING the Epsiode!
