Are you following rules you never actually agreed to? 🚫


In this episode, we’re diving into the power of micro-rebellions—tiny, mischievous acts of defiance that make life feel less suffocating. From taking a spontaneous road trip to eating sugary cereal straight out of the box for dinner, we’re talking about how breaking small, harmless rules can shake you out of autopilot and bring a much-needed jolt of joy back into your life. 🤘🌀🏴‍☠️


We’ll explore:


🔥 Why rebellion boosts dopamine and creates more vivid memories

🧠 The psychology behind why neurodivergent folks, trauma survivors, and people who feel misunderstood might get an extra thrill from rebelling

🍕 How to break habits, routines, traditions, and expectations to make life feel more fun and free

🕶️ The ultimate reminder that you can be any kind of adult you want to be—whether that means owning a house and theming your kids’ bedrooms or keeping a ball pit in your basement
