Cheaper Than Therapy with Vanessa and Dené

Ep: 186 Live Coaching Session: Is Society's Path the Right Path?


Listen Later

What happens when you don't follow society's expected relationship timeline? In this live coaching session episode, we talk about what it looks like to navigate walking a non-traditional path and taking the road less traveled. Alana opens up about her transformative decisions—whether it's breaking off a long-term relationship, returning to graduate school, or challenging societal norms around marriage and family.


🌟 What You'll Gain From This Episode:


  • Empowering Choices: How Alana took charge of her destiny by ending a significant relationship and opting for further education. Learn the dynamics of making such monumental life choices and the freedom that comes from it.
  • Non-Traditional Paths: Feel seen as Alana delves into the loneliness and isolation of choosing a route divergent from her peers—no marriage or kids (yet), but plenty of individual growth.
  • Surrendering to Life: Vanessa and Dené highlight the underestimated power of surrendering to the unknown and embracing life's uncertainties. Get insights into letting go and gaining more in return.
  • Culture & Self-Exploration: Listen in as they dissect the shortcomings of American culture's collective immaturity and the loss of cultural identity through assimilation.
  • Embodied Spirituality: How can spirituality become a lived experience? We talk about connecting with higher powers in day-to-day life, not just in sacred spaces.
  • Defining Stability: Is settling down always the right choice? Challenge your preconceptions as Alana questions the conventional wisdom around long-term relationships and societal 'stability.'
