Ep 27 - Defying Expectations: Why We Eloped And Living An Authentic Life

What It Means To Be Well - The Podcast

In this short and sweet solo episode Rachael shares the behind the scenes of her recent elopement. It's a refelctive episode that explores the pressure we can all feel to live up to what others want for us and why living our lives on our terms is essential for happiness.

In this very personal episode you'll hear:

• The internal tug of war of whether to do what everyone else wanted for them, or to follow what she and Rob really wanted to do
• Why she ultimately chose to sneak off to get married, vs a bigger wedding
• How the day unfolded (including the bits they're not proud of)
• How Rachael overcame the need to meet the expectations of others
• Breaking every wedding tradition
• Having no regrets
• How loved ones took the news, and how Rachael managed her own feelings from their reactions

If you've found yourself in people pleasing mode, or are on the cusp of a big life decision this episode will help you find your way back to your authenticity.
