Fake life rules - those things that leave us feeling like we should have an epic career in our dream industry, like we should be married with kids by now, like we should have a clean house 24/7.
In this episode, Gabby and Krystal talk about why fake life rules are absolute nonsense. Sure, in a perfect world all of us would be supremely fulfilled by all facets of our lives and enjoy a perfect "timeline" of milestones. But one of the beautiful things about life is that it is both unpredictable and different for everyone.
Krystal and Gabby review fake life rules sent in by YOU, listeners, and parse out the reasons why those rules are often unapplicable to most folks. Whether it's because they normalize negative or unachievable stereotypes, contribute to oppressive viewpoints, or are just flat out unrealistic - they're called fake life rules for a reason!
