A Year of Podcasting & Following What You Want vs. What You Should

from No, You're Not Dying

Today is a very special episode because we are celebrating one year of No, You're Not Dying!! Time has both flown and moved at an exceedingly glacial pace, and we're recapping and reflecting on the last 365 days: what we've learned, what has surprised us, what's been left on the cutting room floor, and what we hope for the next year.In the spirit of our podcasting anniversary, we're then getting into how to know when to break away from the status quo and what you're told you should do/be, and go after what you want. We talk about the consequences of leaving what you "should" do behind, how to figure out what you like when you've never thought about it, and why we can lose our sense of self when we live by other people's expectations.We also discuss how jealousy and judgement can point us in the right direction, when to listen to outside noise and when to tune it out, how to align your shoulds/wants and why sometimes all you need is a change of setting, and what to do instead of acting on impulse. About Your Hosts: Beth is a licensed, Ph.D. clinical psychologist with 40+ years of experience treating patients of all ages. Joyce is a millennial just trying to figure it all out.Note:Advice and opinions on this show should not be considered as treatment.
