What happens when you decide to step away from other people’s expectations of you? Well, you learn that you actually need to get around your own expectations for yourself. Today, we talk to Shruthi who’s a fulltime traveler, hiker and runner… but she didn’t used to be any of those things. Growing up in a South Indian family in the US meant that all the things that she’s come to love later in her life, such as the great outdoors, went against her families ideas of gender norms. Her time on the road helped her realize a deep love for hiking which taught her just how strong she is, that she can trust herself and what can be learned from having regular conversations with discomfort. Join us on a deep dive into how much our own expectations of what we are and aren’t capable of are holding us back.
