In this episode of The Purple Kool-Aid Podcast, I dive into a powerful topic: Why Society Punishes Non-Traditional People. If you’ve ever felt like you don’t fit into the traditional mold—whether it’s rejecting religious expectations, questioning societal norms, or living life on your own terms—then this episode is for you.
I talk about what it means to be a free thinker, the pressure of conformity, and how certain traditions shape our lives—whether I embrace them or reject them. I share personal experiences, from growing up biracial in the ’70s and ’80s to navigating the expectations placed on women over 50.
I also explore how society penalizes those who don’t follow conventional paths. From marriage-based tax benefits to social exclusion, the system is designed to reward traditional lifestyles while making it harder for independent thinkers to thrive.
This is Part One of the discussion, and there’s much more to cover. Tune in to hear my candid thoughts on non-traditional living and why it often comes with unspoken consequences.
If you’ve ever felt like an outsider, this conversation is for you.
Listen now and stay tuned for Part Two!
