Clarity on Fire

Side Chat: The 8+8+8 Rule … and why we hate it!


Listen Later

A while back I was scrolling on Instagram and came across a post by a well-known personal development guru. What I read ENRAGED me.

So much so, in fact, that my ensuing rant lasted for almost an hour – and now you get to hear it on the podcast. 👀😅

Buckle up for this month's brand-new Side Chat, where Kristen and I break down (and take down!) this post, and allllll of the reasons why advice like this—be it well-meaning or not—ends up being incredibly harmful to most people reading it.

We get into…

  • What the "8+8+8 Rule" is and why it makes NO SENSE for 99.9% of people
  • The difference between advice that's coming from a place of masculine energy vs. feminine energy
  • How to go about finding balance in your daily life that doesn't feel unrealistic and impossible to achieve

You may be expecting a lot of rage (and you'll get it!), but you're probably not expecting to hear how much we CRACKED UP while tearing this terrible advice to pieces. I don't think Kristen and I have ever laughed so hard on any episode, ever!

Come leave a comment after you've listened to share how this one resonated with you!
