I think whenever there's what we might perceive to be somebody acting or speaking negatively towards us it's a reflection of where they're at... it's a powerful moment of self-reflection and understanding.
Ever feel like society's labels are boxing you in? The latest episode of the LAF Life podcast tackles this head-on. Hosts Kelly Evans, Tracy Georgievic, and Lindsay Herrick, joined by a special guest, dive into the tricky terrain of how drinking can become entangled with our sense of self. They argue that we're often mistaken for 'human doings' rather than 'human beings', and how labels like 'the fun guy' can trap us in roles that don't reflect our true selves.
This chat isn't just about giving up booze; it's about rediscovering who you really are without the influence of alcohol. They share personal stories and insights on how to navigate life when you strip away these societal labels. It's a raw, unscripted conversation that challenges you to rethink your identity and consider the many facets that make you unique beyond your drinking habits.
If you're curious about how to redefine yourself and break free from limiting labels, this episode is a must-listen.
