The Roles We Play

Subscribe to our weekly ⁠newsletter!

In this episode, we delve into the various roles we take on in different aspects of our lives, such as our jobs, relationships, and other societal expectations. We explore the impact these roles have on our personal lives and society as a whole. Rather than discrediting roles entirely, we examine why we feel the need to play them. Is it to avoid confronting our true selves? Join us as we question the underlying motivations behind the roles we play.

Topics include:

• How we lose ourselves to the roles we play in society
• Overtly identifying with the roles kills authenticity
• Identifying with a role allows us to play it safe and avoid deviating from the norm
• A role is just a narrative we think we have to go along with vs. who we actually area
• Comfortability is not always what's best for us
• The contagious nature of not choosing to identify with a role
• Is being caught up in our heads and playing a role the same thing? Does one lead to the next? Does this help us find comfort in a role?
• The government's role in perpetuating roles and asserting control over society, including the Section 230 Restrict Act (aka the TikTok Ban)
