  • Episode 28: Break Free from Society’s Expectations
    This week on Finding Authenticity we are breaking down some of society’s bs expectations. There are a lot of pressures we can feel from what society expects of us, but there is no singular path in life.
    Some expectations we discuss include:
    Expectation to get married and have children
    Gender norms
    Having your life figured out at 20
    Going to college or university
    Remember that it is your life, and you don’t have to do anything just because it is what the dominant culture, or those around you expect of you.
