Are there some things that you do, beliefs that you hold on to, or behaviors that you grew up with that you now look at and ask "Where did I learn this from and does it actually make sense for me in this moment in my life?

There are certain things that we were taught, that were nurtured, or we just picked up on unconsciously. And as we do this thing called "adulting", we realize some of these things are no longer serving us or aren't actually true. And so, the journey of unlearning these things begins, which isn't always easy or comfortable.

On today's episode we are joined by friend to the show Petra Pindar, and we explore this question. Petra is President & CEO, of Petra Pindar Inc., a non profit organization dedicated to building and cultivating leaders in both the faith and business sectors.

We also talk about:

How we had to unlearn that you must please and appease everyone, especially those that are close to you, that successful friendships and relationships are meant to last forever, that you're responsible for the disappointments that happen in your life and that if you work harder and longer, you'll be successful.

Our conversation starters are designed to create more interesting and memorable social interactions.  The great thing about our conversation starters is that they start off with one basic question, but will prompt a back-and-forth exchange of ideas and lead to other interesting topics. Use them and watch your relationships grow stronger as you share your answers and listen to others.
