Why Are We Still Doing That? - Episode 5

Focusing on what's next instead of finding the fulfillment we are seeking in what's happening right now, right here – "Why are we still doing that?"

We’re back with another episode of Why Are We Still Doing That? This time we’re exploring the myth of “the next thing” – why we’re conditioned to believe fulfillment lives just. over. there. when, in fact, the fulfillment is available to you right. here.

You’ll hear:

  • Something Neil Patrick Harris talked about that perfectly captures the endless pursuit of the “next level”

  • How social currency, FOMO, and even well-meaning friends keep us focused on “what’s next” instead of “what’s now”

  • A funny story about a dream trip, a boat tour, and the woman who couldn’t stop selling her next dream trip

Plus, we unpack how knowing yourself—your values, strengths, and what actually matters to you—can help you break free from the chase and build fulfillment today.

Spoiler: The thing you’re chasing probably isn’t the thing.
