Episode Type: Listen to Learn
What if the things you believe are your greatest strengths are sabotaging your happiness?
You think your drive to always be on, to chase the next thing, is what makes you successful. You pride yourself on being a "hyper-achiever."
But you’re sitting down to watch a sunset and your mind is 100 miles away, worrying about emails, dinner, and laundry. You have your hand on a hot stove, but you’ve had it there for so long you just think it's normal.
It’s a common story. We get to a point in our late 30s to early 60s and wonder, "How did I end up here, and what am I doing?" We try to fix it with external things—a sabbatical, a big move—only to find ourselves dealing with the same internal battles just a few months later.
This conversation on the Share Life podcast flips the script on how to create change. It’s not about another pill or a bigger goal. It’s about realizing:
We forget that at any point, we can just stop the car and turn around. But how do you find a new map when you’ve been living somebody else’s life for 40 years?
Find out how to finally pause and recalibrate by watching this listen to learn episode of the podcast.
P.S. If you feel like you’re struggling in silence, you’re not alone. This is a shared life experience, and understanding it is the first step to breaking free.
