Episode notes

If you find yourself being emotional about something, it's probably tied in some way to your identity and the stories that you've been told. I would encourage people to go and learn about the history or origins of these traditions. Travelling internationally is such a useful thing when you're young. It gives you perspective on values that are just ingrained in you from where you grew up. You can question them by geiting awareness of them, and at the same time see new ways of living which you could either choose to adopt rejectit in your life.

In this episode, Steph and Cal dive deep into traditions, the societal defaults that shape how we think and act in the world. They start by exploring the origins of the 40-hour work week, modern alternatives, and how we can rethink the idea of retirement. In the second half of the episode, they explore how the ways in which commonly held beliefs about monogamy, love, and marriage may not set people up for the life they want to live. If you're interested in questioning the norms and designing a life that works for you, this episode is worth a listen.
