About this listen

 Episode 16: The Pressure to Conform** In this episode of It’s Not That Deep, we dive into a common struggle: the pressure to conform. How do we balance our personal identity with societal expectations? Drawing inspiration from 1 Samuel 9:21, we explore the tension between staying true to ourselves and meeting the expectations of others. Through two personal stories, we uncover the complexities of this dilemma. First, we meet a passionate graphic designer whose family believes her career isn’t “practical” enough. Then, we hear from a corporate professional torn between a promotion that could compromise their values and staying true to themselves in a cutthroat work environment. We also draw parallels to Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, exploring Kambili’s journey of self-discovery in the face of external pressures. Tune in for an honest conversation about identity, compromise, and the courage it takes to stand firm in your beliefs.
