Episode 087 - Ancient Vices, Modern Problems: The Seven Deadly Sins Explained

In today’s episode, we’re revisiting the Seven Deadly Sins — not as fire-and-brimstone warnings, but as the original personality flaws that refuse to die. Because let’s be honest: we’re not “sinning,” we’re just branding it as hustle, self-care, or boundaries. We’ll unpack where these seven came from, why they still explain our behavior better than most modern frameworks, and how they’ve quietly evolved from medieval morals into everyday habits. Pride on LinkedIn. Envy on Instagram. Sloth with a productivity podcast playing in the background. This episode is part cultural history, part mirror you didn’t ask for. So grab a drink, prepare to feel slightly called out, and let’s talk about why seven ancient sins still run the group chat.
