Rosie opens up about feeling totally drained by a job that doesn’t align with her values, while Roula offers her grounded take on the trade-offs that come with chasing joy over security.They dig into why doing what you love isn’t the easy route, how envy plays into our choices, and why it’s okay to demand more from life — even if it makes things messier. It’s funny, honest, and very human.What’s the line between being realistic and settling for less than you deserve?Topics covered:Why chasing meaningful work feels selfish (and why it’s not)The hidden price of following your passionHow envy shapes our career choicesThe difference between purpose, security, and happinessRelated episodes:122: Is It a Bad Thing To Be Selfish in Times Where Self Care is Brought Back to SocietyListen to the episode on Rosie's podcast about purpose: 03: Here’s What to do if You’re Feeling Stuck--------------------☕️ Buy us a coffee!🎙️ Send us a voice message🛍️ Buy some Rosie and Roula merch!--------------------⭐️ Leave us a review▶️ Follow us on Instagram and TikTok🎞️ Subscribe to our YouTube channel--------------------🎧 Check out Roula's podcast🎧 Check out Rosie's podcast
