Have you ever realized you’re doing something simply because “that’s the way it’s always been done”—without ever stopping to ask why?
In this episode, I share a surprisingly personal (and eyebrow-raising) habit: I sleep on the floor. What started as a temporary solution years ago turned into a long-term routine—and eventually, a powerful lesson about questioning norms, routines, and assumptions we rarely examine.
Through this story (and a moment at work where my habit of asking questions was misunderstood as “challenging”), we explore the real power of asking “Why?” Not to be rebellious. Not to stir the pot. But to understand. Because when you understand the why, you gain clarity, conviction, and the freedom to choose what actually works for you.
This episode isn’t about throwing out every rule or living differently for the sake of it. It’s about becoming intentional—about recognizing which routines still serve you and which ones you’ve just inherited without thought.
Listen in as we unpack how questioning the status quo can lead to better decisions, deeper understanding, and a life designed on purpose—not autopilot.
💡 What You’ll Learn: • Why questioning routines can lead to clarity and growth • The difference between being curious and being confrontational • How asking “why” leads to better communication and leadership • Why “normal” doesn’t always mean “best for you” • How small, unconventional choices can reshape how you live
🛠️ Action Step: Pick one daily routine you’ve never questioned—how you work, rest, or structure your day. Ask yourself: Why do I do this? Does it still serve me? Write down one small experiment you could try this week to see if there’s a better way.
📌 Perfect For: • Curious thinkers and lifelong learners • Professionals who question processes and norms • Anyone feeling stuck in routines that no longer fit • Listeners looking to live more intentionally
