Sometimes we build the life we think everyone wants for us. We chase the job title that brings esteem, live in the suburb that says we've made it, and spend years keeping up with the Joneses. Then one day we realise we're working fifty or sixty hours a week to fund a lifestyle created for an older version of ourselves.
In this deep, heartfelt episode, Matilda draws on her background in behavioural economics and her work as an evidential medium to explore why we fall into this pattern, and how to find our way out. She unpacks the hedonic treadmill, lifestyle creep and the sunk cost trap. She shares what loved ones in spirit so often remind us about what truly matters. And she offers practical reflection questions to help you define your own version of "enough."
The episode closes with a guided meditation, The Home That Fits, where you'll set down the expectations you've been carrying and meet the version of you who is already living a peaceful life.
This one is for anyone who has quietly wondered, "Is this really the life I want?"
Please don't listen to the meditation while driving or operating machinery.
