Why Are We Still Doing That? - Episode 4

Giving everything we've got to external pursuits, all supported by great data, while we avoid (or don't even consider) our inner selves – “Why are we still doing that?”

We’re back with another episode of Why Are We Still Doing That? This time we’re exploring externalization vs. internalization – why we obsess over outward success and validation while ignoring the most important data source: ourselves.

You’ll hear:

• The story of Anya, a top performer who finds personal development unexpectedly harder once her external mission ends.
• How the “office mom” who nurtures everyone else can’t turn that same care inward.
• Why evidence‑based decision‑making feels essential at work but “woo‑woo” when applied to personal growth.
• Our soap‑box on a culture trained to chase external approval – from childhood messages to social‑media metrics – and how to flip the script.

Plus, we implore you to start using good self‑data – your strengths, values, and even your intuition – as your first point of reference for lasting fulfillment.
