Have you ever had a clothing tag scratch you, only to aggressively pull the clothing item off and to cut the label off as to avoid any further annoyance around that small but powerful scratch? Social labels can feel a lot like clothing labels. Labels can be so limiting. They almost draw a line as to what you can and cannot be and create a barrier for any authenticity. Labels are indeed for tin cans and clothing, not humans. Once you have labelled someone a certain way, oftentimes your interaction and engagement with them is based on these assumptions. Labels deny new friendships, interactions, creativity and growth. They take on the all-or-nothing approach. There is such freedom in letting go of all of the labels and assumptions, stereotypes and misjudgments that society makes and tends to box people in and to be. On this episode of Project Friend Podcast we talk about how society has created labels and how those labels can affect our identity. We explore labels associated with different careers, with clothing, with places people live and food and health labels. Your Project Friend Podcast hosts, Meg and Purdey have experiences of their own to share with you. It is one you don’t want to miss!
