Hey there! In this week\u2019s episode, after my tea talk and life update, I introduce the topic of growing up and the responsibilities that entails by stating the structure of how I\u2019ll tackle it. Then, I give some context about how I think these responsibilities are either unspoken agreements or conversations I missed, touching on privilege and being stubborn. To follow up, I mention some examples of how I experienced falling behind, including cleaning, eyebrows, errands, and gifts. Afterward, I talk about what I could learn from that, from being proactive, to diversity, to gratitude! I wrap up this topic with some main points on surprises, the struggle with conforming, remembering my examples and emphasising the importance of being aware. Next, I share my weekly favourites in podcasts, online creators and quotes. Before signing off, I read a kind review from matiildeg.\n\n\nTO GET DIRECTLY TO THE CONTENT, SKIP TO 13:19\n\nFOLLOW THE PODCAST\u2019S INSTAGRAM: https://instagram.com/theasteapodcast?igshid=r04b2760fkdl\nCONTACT ME THROUGH: theasteapodcast@gmail.com (for business inquiries, sponsorships or to tell me what you think about this podcast!)\nSEND ME A VOICE MESSAGE: https://anchor.fm/th351a-beaury/message\nCHECK OUT THE DESIGNERS OF MY COVER ART: https://instagram.com/sofiarrublacreative?igshid=1xtsd1w69zkkl\nhttps://instagram.com/cuerpobaldio?igshid=1jq5cb59nm2z\nSTART YOUR PODCAST NOW BY HEADING TO anchor.fm\n\n\nCHECK OUT THE THINGS I MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE (IN ORDER OF APPEARANCE):\nListen to the Lavendaire Lifestyle Podcast on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5ODSFAXoVkgJHjxVxU2oAu?si=m8wKWEK1S6aXPSAzRoiZIw\nWatch UnJaded Jade\u2019s YouTube videos: https://www.youtube.com/c/UnJadedJade\nJames Clear\u2019s quote: "'Everyone already knows this' is very different from 'everybody already does this'. The fundamentals get overlooked all the time. Don't mistake knowing an idea as a reason to avoid implementing it. You don't need more ideas. You need more actions" \n\n\nHERE ARE SONE QUOTES I LIKED FROM THIS WEEK\u2019S EPISODE:\n16:33 = \u201cMaybe since I was spending so much time outside, I maybe missed a couple of these important things and establishments and conversations where my mum was like \u201chey, you\u2019re growing up so now you\u2019re in charge of this, you\u2019re going to have to take care of this, and stuff like that\u201d \n17:06 = \u201cMaybe these things are just unspoken agreements, maybe conversations weren\u2019t necessary, maybe talks were not held... maybe it\u2019s just things people assume you already know\u201d\n17:47 = \u201cI guess I was just expecting really clear, layer out foundations, you know? Like, a timetable, or a to-do list... just really clear, specific things I could follow\u201d\n21:50 = \u201cWe tend to have an all or nothing mindset, so I was like \u201cokay, if I can\u2019t do it perfectly, then I may as well not do it at all. It took me a while to drill these ideas into my head, even when I did know exactly what I needed to do, I tried to ignore it for the longest time and I was just so reluctant to it, because I felt like I wouldn\u2019t be able to do it well, or to do it consistently, or I was just, I guess insecure about so many things that I preferred to just push it aside\u201d\n23:34 = \u201cI started spiralling and thinking about all of the adaptations that I would have to make for this and to just be able to keep up with it, again, I just scared myself out of it\u201d \n31:35 = \u201cI think that I should have been more proactive. As I mentioned a bit before, if I was expecting a conversation and I realised that people were already acting without that conversation, then, it\u2019s my job to speak up and ask questions\u201d\n\nThanks for tuning in, have a beautiful week!
