Mambition Moments #29 - The Social Rules That Keep Us Strangers (And What My 3-Year-Old Is Teaching Me About Breaking Them) Tiffany Scott (Sanya)
from Mambition · host Tiffany Scott and Alex Morgan
My 3-year-old daughter turns every nurse appointment into a fact-finding mission.And I've been seeing this nurse for weeks.First appointment: "What's that?" (pointing at tattoo)Next visit: "What's that?" (pointing at freckles)By week four: We know she's half Chilean, moved from Canada at 11, has two teenage kids.Not because I asked. Because my daughter hasn't learned to mind her business yet - and she forces me to pay attention alongside her.I used to think being polite meant keeping professional distance. But those social rules - don't stare, don't ask, mind your business - they make us polite and incredibly lonely.In this episode, I'm discussing what we lose when we learn to be professional everywhere. Why the rules that make us polite also make us strangers. And what happens when we give ourselves permission to be curious again.My daughter won't stay this way forever. Eventually she'll learn the rules too.But for now? She's teaching me to see people again.
