In this episode, I reflect on my recent experience attending a marketing conference that left me feeling out of step with the crowd. From travel hassles and parental guilt to high expectations for expert wisdom and less-than-inspiring content, I share my candid thoughts on group dynamics, FOMO, and the pressure to fit in. Are you doing things just because everyone else is? Or are you tuning in to what’s truly right for you? Along the way, I dive into psychological concepts like Freud’s group theory, the tendency to go along with the crowd, and the personal liberation that comes from realising not every trend or event is meant for us. I encourage listeners to examine where they might be following the group without questioning whether it aligns with their own desires and values. 05:50 — Reflecting on Group Dynamics 07:01 — Group Influence & Freud’s Theory 07:48 — Conference Marketing Tactics & FOMO 08:47 — Post-Event Clarity & Accepting Individual Preference Sign Up for your free Resource Sheet HERE Connect with Julia: Website LinkedIn Instagram
