Episode Show Notes Ep. 7 What Happens When What You Thought You Wanted Isn’t What You Want Anymore? In this episode, we dive deep into the hidden pressure behind ambition, success, and the goals we spend our lives chasing. Inspired by reflections on pop culture, personal experiences, and societal expectations, this conversation questions whether many of our dreams are truly our own or if they were inherited from family, culture, comparison, and the need for validation. This episode explores the emotional exhaustion that can come from constantly pursuing “more,” while never feeling like you’ve actually arrived.
