🎙️ Episode Summary
What if the labels you wear aren’t even yours?
This week, we’re unpacking Chapter Two of Permission to Offend by Rachel Luna — and the truth-telling continues.
In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by one of Rachel’s dearest friends, Andrea Crowder — a woman who embodies radical self-honesty, spiritual conviction, and unapologetic alignment. Known as the “Professional Pressure Diffuser,” Andrea is the one Rachel called out in the book as someone who lives what she believes with unshakable certainty.
Together, we explore what it means to strip away outdated labels, release the weight of other people’s expectations, and live by values that actually belong to us — not what we inherited, absorbed, or were guilted into.
You’ll walk away with language for making aligned decisions, a deeper understanding of how identity is formed (and re-formed), and the courage to protect your peace — even if it means disappointing others.
💡Questions to Reflect on as You Listen:
💭 What beliefs or labels have I been carrying that no longer align with who I’m becoming?
💭 Where in my life am I making decisions from obligation instead of alignment?
💭 What does freedom feel like in my body, and how can I choose it more often?
💭 How can I begin to define my values on my own terms—without explanation, apology, or defense?
