Break the Rules On Purpose with Heather Whelpley

Episode Summary

Heather Whelpley realized it was time to step out of rule-bound conformity and question the rules she’s been handed. One by one, she examined the rules that told her how to act, sound, and look and decided which ones she wanted to keep. It changed everything. Heather now helps women do the same by rediscovering their voices, taking up space, and unleashing their authentic leadership and life. Whether you're seeking more joy, confidence, or want to take up more space in your life, listen to be inspired to break free and reclaim your true self!

Episode Notes

Tangible Takeaways:

• Look at all the rules that you’ve been handed, and ask: which of these do I want to keep carrying with me and which ones do I want to break?
• Your worth is not connected to achievement, success, or how your body looks. These rules create shame or make you feel “too much:
• A part of creating change and understanding the rules is calling them out, and then purposely start to break the ones that no longer work for you. You don't need to throw everything away, but you get to choose!
• Adopt an attitude of experimentation. Tell yourself “I’ll just trying it out.” Shedding and choosing your own rules is not a permanent decision that has to be forever.
