Today, we're diving into a topic that's familiar to many: the constant pressure to meet expectations. Whether it's from family, society, or even ourselves, these expectations can weigh heavy. But what if we started to challenge these norms? What if we stopped people-pleasing and instead, honored our own needs and desires?
Have you ever found yourself showing up every day, following the rules, and still feeling unfulfilled? You're not alone. Many are trapped in an endless cycle of trying to meet invisible requirements that drain joy and happiness. Embracing who you truly are might feel daunting, even rebellious. But it’s a step toward living more authentically.
Living authentically means prioritizing yourself. It requires tuning into what truly matters to you—not others. Our culture often dictates conformity as the norm, but what if you became your own norm? Stop abandoning yourself. Start living life on your terms. As Phoenix passionately outlines, it’s about taking back control and finding the freedom to be unapologetically you.
In this episode you’ll hear:
-
