Unlearn the Rules: The Truth About Living Life on Your Own Terms | Ep 102

In this episode of Operation Be, I’m diving into something that might ruffle a few feathers — unlearning the rules. This conversation was sparked by a moment that stopped me in my tracks and made me ask, “Wait…who decided this was how it’s supposed to be?” From money to relationships to the invisible “shoulds” we’ve all been handed, I’m sharing my personal journey of realizing that most of the rules we live by weren’t even written by us. Somewhere along the way, we absorbed them — from family, society, or fear — and called it normal. But here’s the truth: you get to write your own rulebook. In this episode, I’ll challenge you to look at what beliefs you’ve been carrying that don’t actually serve the life you want. We’ll talk about how to recognize them, release them, and replace them with new standards that feel like you. 💭 Reflection prompt: Identify one inherited belief or “rule” in your life that no longer feels right—and decide what it would look like if you rewrote it on your own terms? It’s time to stop living by someone else’s blueprint. Let’s unlearn, realign, and build a life that fits. 🎧 Tune in now — your freedom might start right here.   00:46 Unlearning the Rules 03:25 Diversity and Perspective Shifts 06:52 Money Mindset Transformation 10:54 Questioning Assumptions and Self-Growth 17:06 Personal Life and Relationships 22:58 Conclusion and Prompt     Mentioned in this episode: You're Allowed to Want More - and Here's Why | Ep 101 https://youtu.be/JcbHdC2O3gY   Says F*cking Who Gear: https://homesweetdefiance.com/products/says-who-womens-short-sleeve-t-shirt?pr_prod_strat=e5_desc&pr_rec_id=d3a92bbd8&pr_rec_pid=7203248046142&pr_ref_pid=7203257778238&pr_seq=uniform     Please like, comment, subscribe, and share this episode and tag us with @jamie.thurber on Instagram or Jamie Thurber on Facebook. #OperationBe   Want to connect with me on social media? www.instagram.com/jamie.thurber www.facebook.com/jamiethurber.biz www.jamiethurber.com  https://www.youtube.com/@JamieThurber   If you’re interested in getting the exclusive content I put out on the newsletter, sign up here: https://jamiethurber.com/newsletter   Join my community and let’s take this conversation even deeper!
