When Self-Improvement Becomes Self-Rejection

Send us Fan Mail When does self-improvement stop being growth and start becoming a constant reminder that we’re not enough? In this episode, we’re talking about the pressure to optimize every part of our lives, why we’ve become so uncomfortable with boredom, and how to keep growing without constantly chasing the next version of ourselves. Maybe the goal isn’t to perfect your life, it’s to actually enjoy it while you’re living it. This episode is sponsored by Natural Cycles!
