Ep #7 | How society conditions us to conform to expectations and a heartfelt reflection on bold decisions and the journey to self-love, independence, and authenticity.

Welcome back, dear listeners. I am Anchal Panwar, host of Bullshift Talks with Aanchal!!!!In this podcast episode, I share a raw version of my journey of self-discovery, resilience, and defiance against societal expectations. Opening up with challenging experiences, including toxic relationships and a stifling environment, I emphasise the importance of questioning societal norms and rejecting the pressure to conform to traditional roles, especially as a woman in India.I am reflecting on how after making bold decisions, like quitting a high-paying job and dropping out of a prestigious institute like IIM Mumbai, was being criticised by people around me despite these being necessary steps towards gaining the freedom to live life on my damn terms.I am describing feeling betrayed by those once trusted and highlighting the painful process of shedding my old identities to embrace a more authentic self and newer version of myself. Emphasizing that personal happiness and fulfilment come from independence and self-love, I urge my listeners to take control of their lives, make their own choices, and not let external validation dictate their destiny. Appreciate life’s fleeting moments, I invite you all to join me on this transformative journey by following me on various social media channels, reinforcing that every challenge encountered ultimately paves the way for personal evolution.To Know More, Follow Anchal Panwar On ⤵︎Instagram@anchalsinghpanwar ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/anchalsinghpanwar/⁠⁠⁠Youtube: @anchalsinghpanwar ⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@anchalsinghpanwar⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: Anchal Panwar ⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/anchalpanwar/⁠⁠⁠Twitter Anchal Panwar⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://x.com/panwar_anchal⁠⁠⁠Topmate (To Book 1:1 Session with me) :)Anchal Panwar ⁠⁠⁠https://topmate.io/anchal_panwar⁠⁠⁠#Podcast #Bullshifttalkswithaanchal #Aanchal #Anchalpanwar #challenges #courage #freedom #society #expectations #livelifethewayyouwant #happiness #gratefulness.Our Podcast is about Candid Conversations where Anchal Panwar shares her Unfiltered thoughts and brings various topics to discuss.
