Where Are We All Going? Discussing Drive, Motivation & the Meaning of Life (yes... really!) - Episode #27

Today’s episode is a really fun one! Brace and Victoria begin in classic “Yank and the Brit” style before moving into an in-depth discussion of motivation. Much more than your typical “what makes us do what we do?” Podcast, during this conversation Brace and Victoria cover:

Healthy and unhealthy motivations: is there a difference? What makes a motivation unhealthy? How can you tell when something IS unhealthy?

• The difference between driving forces, and them motivating us to action (i.e. distinguishing between drives and motivators)
• How to prevent a drive from becoming a defining motivator (and when it’s necessary)
• The essence of what affects our motivations: from biological and genetic factors, to societal pressures and “keeping up with the Jones’s”

And then, as is now custom for our Unveilers, Victoria leads Brace into a metaphysical discussion about the meaning of life and the purpose or role of suffering in creating outcomes.

She chats about her latest contemplations around whether we are all just justifying suffering by making our challenges into hero’s journeys - and whether there really is any truth to the Rumi adages of “The cure for the pain is in the pain” and “Pain is the conduit to healing”. Yes - it goes deep!

And why? Because we at Unveil are continuously inviting you to see belief and truth for what they are: subjective and mutable. These podcast discussions open the doorway to new ways of thinking.
