In 'The Things We Do for Love', Dr. Andrea Vitz and Jon Leon Guerrero dive into the quirky ways we adopt behaviours to please others. Whether it's a football allegiance passed down through generations or a career path chosen to gain approval, this episode of Levelheaded Talk offers a light-hearted yet insightful exploration into why we sometimes become chameleons in our own lives. Dr.
Vitz shares her thoughts on how these patterns are often rooted in childhood experiences, where messages from family or community subtly shape our beliefs and actions. Through relatable anecdotes, like the tale of Notre Dame football fandom, the episode highlights how our perceived need for acceptance can steer us away from our true selves. Dr. Vitz encourages listeners to question these inherited value systems and reflect on whether they genuinely align with personal desires.
It's an invitation to pause and ponder: Are you living your life or someone else's expectations? Jon and Andrea also touch on the impact of these behaviours on the next generation, urging parents to be mindful of the messages they unintentionally send to their children. It's a gentle reminder that while we can't always control what we've absorbed, we can choose how we influence those around us.
If you're ready to unravel the subconscious ties that bind your actions to external validation, this episode is your call to action. Embrace the freedom of authenticity and start questioning: What do you truly want?
