We live in a world obsessed with happiness, sold the promise that if we just work hard enough, think positively enough, or buy the right things, we’ll finally feel complete. But this endless chase often leaves us feeling emptier than before. The more we run after happiness, the more it slips through our fingers, creating a quiet pressure to always be "okay" — even when we're not.
In this episode, we step back and question the very idea of happiness as life’s finish line. What if true fulfillment isn’t about feeling good all the time, but about feeling fully alive — through the highs, the lows, and everything in between? We’ll explore how accepting discomfort and embracing the full range of our emotions can free us from the trap of forced positivity and open the door to a deeper, more honest way of living.
With love, Mafe
