Have We Been Screwed? Trading Freedom for Fairy Tales Teresa Roberts

We live in a world of myths, fairy tales and cultural expectations. It has always been so. Because Teresa was raised in a religious cult, she realized this at a very young age. When she decided to leave home, she was excommunicated from the family. With no money in her pocket, no driver's license, no car, no job, no friends and no family, she ventured out from a closed society into the civilian world to make a life for herself. Teresa soon discovered that the world at large insisted upon conformity. She had managed to get over the first major hurdle, the religious indoctrination of her childhood, but that was just the beginning of what has turned out to be an entire lifetime of myth-busting. As a result, she has questioned most of what many people take for granted. Marriage, romance, childbirth, jobs, debt, holidays and the American Dream are all carefully examined. Do you feel frustrated by the lack of options in your life? Does it seem like you've been handed a role to play that doesn't match your true self? Are you questioning the culturally approved ways of doing things? Teresa is here to show you that there are thousands of ways to live your life, many of them taking place simultaneously all over the world. She invites you to follow her irreverent journey and maybe even consider becoming a myth buster yourself. It's a big job and there's plenty of work for everybody.
