EP 10 | The Stories That Made Us: Inherited Identities

Most people think the beliefs they live by are their own.But what if they aren't?In this episode of Decode / Disrupt, Nicolette and Gabbi explore the stories, identities, and expectations we inherit from family, religion, culture, and society and what happens when we begin questioning them for ourselves.Nicolette decodes the difference between conditioning and character, sharing her experiences with religion, belonging, and the pressure to fit into systems that no longer align.Gabbi disrupts the belief that we have to remain loyal to identities that no longer fit, reflecting on her experience coming out at a young age and learning to trust herself over outside expectations.Together, they explore inherited beliefs around goodness, responsibility, purpose, self-worth, and the courage it takes to choose yourself when the choice is finally yours.Decode / Disrupt goes live Sundays on Substack, where insight meets interruption.
