Welcome to episode 38 of "Trusting the Universe and Sh*t"! In this episode, we dive deep into the intersection of social pressures and personal desires, exploring how societal norms can impact our decision-making processes.
Stace and Ané discuss their unique perspectives on navigating social belief systems and desires that often clash with external expectations. We share personal anecdotes, like the pressure to resist getting seconds at dinner due to social stigma around overindulgence.
The conversation touches on the concept of the "Almond Mum" and how cultural backgrounds shape our attitudes towards food and social interactions. We emphasize the importance of self-trust in making decisions that align with our true desires, whether in personal life or business.
We reflect on the significance of rest as a productive activity, challenging the notion that constant productivity is the only path to success. We share insights on setting boundaries, honouring personal needs, and carving out our unique path in a world driven by societal expectations.
Listeners are encouraged to embrace their desires unapologetically, trust their instincts, and cultivate self-trust as a muscle that strengthens over time. The episode concludes with a reminder that small decisions aligned with inner truth contribute to building resilience against societal pressures and lead to greater authenticity in life and business.
