Whytli here. I would like to make an update edit stating that, in the time since this episode was posted, I have discovered that many of my personal values may not align well with those of the episode's guest(s). This is based on stances they have taken and/or shared on social media, etc. Although I may not 100% agree anymore with everything that was said, I don't feel the need to take down this episode because it may still have valuable content or messages that some may need to hear. If you are listening to this older episode, you may keep that in mind.

On this episode, I speak with my best friend, Megan Van Alfen, about the unspoken rules of society that we find ourselves following and we are here to question them. Who made up these rules? If no one speaks of them, how do we all know them? Why do we unconsciously follow them? Listen in to find the answers. We challenge you to break these rules. Speak a different language then society. Embrace your individuality rather than following the crowd. Here are only five rules we talk about:

1. The Instagram rules--followings, double posting, perfect pictures & captions, obligated posts for events, etc.
2. The automatic response of "I'm good" to the everyday question "How are you?"
3. The unacceptable cancelling of plans for change in mental health, priorities, or circumstances
4. Saying 'yes' to dates
5. Being in a relationship equates to happiness

Better understand what these rules mean and look like by listening into this fun and light hearted conversation I had with Megan.
