Hayley shares her story and valuable insights on breaking away from tradition to build a life you can be proud of.Together, we navigate through the complexities of modern adulthood brought about by endless options and societal expectations. Hayley emphasises the importance of getting back to basics, discovering our passions, and accepting that there's no rush to achieve everything by a certain age. We discuss the pressures of ticking off milestones at a young age and the sharp increase in stress that comes with establishing our adult status.Hayley also opens up about her personal journey of pivoting her career and becoming a rebel, leading her to create The Blocks (now Let's Talk Human Skills) - a community and workshop series that helps others navigate life and find their unique path. We explore the curiosity and suspicion that can arise when making changes in our lives, and how we can reframe our perspectives to understand that everything is constantly moving, and we're actually fine where we are now. Tune in for an eye-opening discussion on ways to embrace those quarterlife or midlife struggles and living life on your own terms.Support the showHouse of Voltage is the home of quiet rebellion — where people done with ordinary come to redesign their lives on their own terms.Hosted by Zoe, Aliveness & Identity Coach.Find your people.
