Societal norms for women often push them to believing their life's goal is to get married and have kids. While that may be the goal for some women, that isn't the goal for all.

Breaking Down Cultural Scripts ft Aubrey Aust
2025/06/06
Send us a text
Cultural scripts are internalized patterns of behavior and thought that guide how we behave, interpret actions, and react in social contexts. These "scripts" aren't rules but rather expectations on how we are supposed to act and behave. But what if we didn't have to? What if there was a way we could "rewrite" these scripts to live more authentically? That is just the conversation we dive in to today with our guest and friend Aubrey Aust.
