I feel like everyone lately has been talking about “feeling behind in life”, so I decided to recirculate this popular episode at a time when we all truly need to hear it. 

I share why so many of us feel like we’re ‘behind’—we tell ourselves we should have more money, should already own a home, or should be having babies by now. But what’s happening in our psychology to make us feel this way? And how do we fix it? I answer those questions and share science-backed insights and strategies to help you stop feeling ‘behind in life’ and start embracing where you are.

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• The “gold medal syndrome”—a psychological trap that makes Olympic gold medalists still feel inadequate

• The "arrival fallacy"—why getting what you want often makes you less happy

• Why your messy, non-linear path is actually a key ingredient of a well-lived life

• The four-step method to stop comparing yourself to everyone else's highlight reel

• How to identify the invisible "shoulds" controlling your life (and break free from them)

• What dying people actually regret — and why it's never about the timeline you're stressing over

• The secret to finding extraordinary moments in your ordinary, everyday life
