S7: Living Against the ‘Norms’ – Abroad, 34, No Kids, With a Housemate
Description
NEWS FLASH: I’m living back in Vancouver. With a housemate. I’m a freelance Creative. I’m turning 34 this month. And I feel BACK in my vibe, baby! I haven’t felt this content, aligned, and on-the-up for a while! Emerging from a dusty and down period, I know and accept myself more than ever. So today, I’ma share my views on ‘adulting’ and societal expectations at this age, and what my situation is. I’m now a SOFT GIRL.
Themes in this Ep:
-Value-centred living
-Building a life in Vancouver
-Choosing a place to be that suits me
-Living authentically within the ‘norms’ of Western culture
-Experimenting with how I want to live/who I want to be
-NOT climbing the corporate ladder and choosing against it
-My work identity and shaping work around my life (not letting it rule!)
-Types of relationship and ethical non-monogamy
-Accepting myself
-Ignoring ‘shoulds’
-Life choices
-Fulfilment
-More flowing, less forcing
-Marriage? Kids? Living together as a couple or living apart?
