The Toxic Law of Jante: Smashing Society's Pressures and Embracing Your Unique Self

In this week's episode of Scaling Life, I'm sharing my thoughts on killing the "Law of Jante" - societal rules that keep people small - once and for all. 

Episode Highlights:

- The 10 limiting rules of the Scandinavian "Law of Jante" and how they made me feel

- Why comparing ourselves to others and trying to fit in does us no good  

- The problems with thinking in "us vs them" and trying to be part of the "in crowd"

- Icelanders hadn't even heard of the Law of Jante - they are more adventurous and self-confident

- My belief that every human has way more potential than they are actually living up to

- The importance of letting our own inner light shine without fear of judgment 

- Tips for breaking through self-limiting beliefs and assumptions

- Quotes from thought leaders like Marianne Williamson on embracing our uniqueness

"When you let your own light shine, you unconsciously give other people permission to do the same." - Marianne Williamson 

This was a personally transformative episode for me. I hope it inspires you to let your freak flag fly and kill any rules holding you back from your potential.
