Description

Life Isn't Linear: Rewriting Your Order of OperationsLife's order of operations isn't a natural law – it's an outdated formula that's been masquerading as success since the post-World War II era.In this episode, Hema and Mike expose how society simultaneously enforces a rigid life script while creating unprecedented levels of stress, comparison spirals, and the constant feeling of being "behind schedule." You've been told there's a proper timeline for marriage, homeownership, and kids while silently drowning in the pressure to check boxes that may not even be yours. But here's the truth: these milestones aren't about fulfillment. They're about control, conformity, and keeping you stuck on someone else's path.In this episode, you'll discover: • Where life's order of operations really came from (hint: economic efficiency, not happiness) • The invisible timer creating arbitrary deadlines in your life • Why following this script is actually killing your joy and authenticity • The critical difference between societal expectations and genuine desires • How to start writing an equation for your life that looks nothing like anyone else'sFrom childhood conditioning to cultural assumptions that reward conformity, we break down why living on your own terms isn't rebellion – it's actually how you find real joy.Ready to disrupt the life script default? Tune in now.Perfect for: Anyone feeling behind schedule, pressured by family expectations, stuck in comparison mode, or exhausted from living someone else's definition of success.
