About this episode

The episode discusses the importance of having a personal life plan and whether it is necessary, exploring the influence of societal expectations on individual goals.

Are you borrowing someone else's life plan? We often set goals or make decisions based on the path we think we should be on without giving much thought to what we truly want out of life. We see others doing certain things or achieving admirable goals and think we should be doing the same. But, what if we don't actually want to do those things? Our topic this week came to us from a few different directions, but we wanted to bring it to the podcast because our clients almost always raise this topic at some point in our work together. Is a life plan necessary? Do Nayla and Eric even agree on the answer to that question? Tune in to this week's episode to find out. Listen in and join the discussion on LinkedIn ( Eric | Nayla ).
