Hello! Let's chat about societal norms. What they are and how they keep us stuck or small.

I was faced with a huge societal/family norm when I was a young woman of 26 years. I was unmarried without children. Working on my career which was on the leading edge of tech. I was in high-demand, making fabulous money, and dreaming about my future.

But my plans were not in line with societal/family norms:

Me - I want to travel the world, meet new people, taste new food, listen to new music, be free to explore.

Societal/Family - you want to get married and have babies and be a good mom.

I fought against those expectations UNTIL I didn't - you can find out all about when and why I gave up my story for family expectations in my video. Click HERE to watch

Challenging Norms Journal Prompts: Write about a societal norm or expectation you feel pressured to conform to. How can you challenge or break free from this expectation in your own life?

I am going to be in Manchester for a personal event on June 7, 2025 and I would love to host a day or 2-day live event. The event does not have to be in Manchester. I can host it at the seaside (nice!) But before I start planning, I want to get an idea of interest and get your input in to the event. I want you to be front and centre in the planning! Click the button to get on the list and I will be reaching out shortly.
