You’re Allowed to Change the Rules (10 Things I Believe Differently After 45 Podcast Episodes)

Apparently, if you sit behind a microphone long enough and ask enough clever humans about ambition, love, money, bodies, grief, identity and being a fucking person, eventually some of it starts changing you too.So for episode 45, I’m taking stock. Not of ten things I’ve figured out. God, no. That would be concerning. But ten things I believe differently now.We’re talking about why consistency has a lot less to do with never dropping the ball than I once thought. Why your body might not be a problem that needs fixing. Why not everything you love needs to become a business. Why being needed and being loved are two very different things. And why understanding someone’s behaviour doesn’t mean you have to keep accepting it.We’re also getting into safety versus confidence, changing your mind about the life you thought you wanted, and one of the biggest shifts of all:Changing the rules doesn’t mean you got the old ones wrong. Sometimes you just have more information now.After 45 episodes, I’m actually less interested in becoming certain. I want to become more curious.About why we do what we do. About what makes a life feel like ours. About what I still have completely fucking wrong. And about who we become when we keep giving ourselves permission to learn.And perhaps most importantly: You’re allowed to change the rules. Even the ones you wrote yourself. If something in this episode makes you think of someone, send it to them. Maybe one of these ten lessons is exactly the permission they needed today.And come join us in the free WithGen community if you’d rather figure this whole being-a-human thing out together.Keep going, but softer. 💜Link to the community: https://chat.whatsapp.com/JG8VnsltAVLB3nHRhAqKMBLink to my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/withgenevieve/Link to Medium: https://medium.com/@genevieve_poolLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/genevieve-pool/
