Episode 59: The Life Script: Why You're Living a Story You Never Actually Wrote

from The Nearly Normal Podcast · host nearlynormalpodcast

You made all the right choices — school, career, relationships, milestones. But whose choices were they really? In this episode, therapists Nina and Kate break down the life scripts handed to us in childhood by family, culture, and society — and how those invisible programs quietly run our adult decisions without us ever realizing it. If you've ever looked around at your own life and thought how did I get here, this episode is for you. They cover how to identify the roles you were cast in before you were old enough to audition, why breaking from those scripts feels so threatening, and how to start making decisions that actually come from you. Real talk from two therapists with over 20 years of clinical experience — no fluff, no toxic positivity, just honest tools for people ready to rewrite the story.
