Episode 56: Decenter the family , friends , & choose YOU
In this episode, we’re talking about decentering our parents, decentering pastors, and decentering anyone else who believes their vision for our lives should matter more than our own.
For generations, many of us were taught that success meant following a predetermined path: be who your parents want you to be, do what your grandparents expect, and fit into the mold that others created for you. But what happens when that path doesn’t align with who you truly are?
Today’s generation is redefining success. We’re embracing therapy. We’re learning financial literacy and budgeting. We’re becoming creators, entrepreneurs, and innovators. We’re advocating for mental health, setting boundaries, and standing up for what we believe in.
That doesn’t mean we don’t love or respect our elders. It means we understand that their experiences are not our destiny. Their dreams for us may come from a place of love, but they don’t have to become our blueprint.
Because if we spend our entire lives being exactly what everyone else wants us to be, will we ever discover who we really are? Will we truly be happy? What are we actually accomplishing if we abandon ourselves in the process?
Maybe it’s time to choose something different.
Maybe it’s time to be exactly who we want to be. To pursue the careers that excite us. To create the lives that fulfill us. To heal, grow, and evolve on our own terms.
You don’t need permission to become yourself.
The greatest gift you can give the world is the most authentic version of you—fully, freely, and unapologetically.
