Breaking Unwritten Rules: Embracing Beautiful Disruption and Creative Freedom (S15E4)

Tap to send me your reflections ♡

Have you ever wondered how much of our lives are governed by unwritten rules we've imposed on ourselves? 

Today's episode is a meander through some of the self-imposed constraints that often originate from societal expectations or beliefs we've inherited. We look at...

  • Some of my own once unshakeable ideas - for example, that for work to be meaningful, it must always feel hard (spoiler alert... it's not true)
  • How we can question and dismantle limiting constraints and the 'rules' we place around ourselves - to embrace flexibility and creative freedom
  • How the concept of 'beautiful disruption' can help us create small, intentional changes in routine that help build adaptability, resilience and creativity. 

Like many of these reflective episodes, this has sparked a personal response for me too. And so, I'm now breaking one of the rules I'd inadvertently created for myself. I'm shifting from publishing the podcast weekly to fortnightly. It's an experiment and we'll see how it goes... after all, there are no rules! 

I would LOVE to hear what you think about this. Depending on where you're listening you may see a little link to message me your reflections - or you can always email.
