As adults, we make decisions that shape our lives. We have the opportunity to choose actions and a life-path that suits our goals and our needs. We’re each ultimately responsible for our own happiness, and for living a life that’s meaningful to us. Our partners in life can support us, but they can’t choose our path.
In this episode, we’ll consider the reality that we make personal decisions within the context of expectations and norms that society lays down for us. That sometimes creates a tension between what we might really want, and what’s socially expected of us. Navigating that balance can be challenging.
