Looking in the Wrong Place: Why the Life You Built Still Feels Empty | Ep. 29

from Pillay Place · host Van

You can build the whole thing — the income, the fitness, the community — and still feel like something isn't adding up. That quiet restlessness is exactly what this episode names and traces back to its source.Rahul brings a sharp theological lens to a deeply human problem: why a world that can't produce ultimate answers keeps convincing us it can. Van offers the mental health counterpart — the pattern she sees repeatedly in her practice of people arriving at the life they planned for and still feeling strangely hollow.The insight that lands hardest here isn't abstract. It's the image of searching for your keys in a drawer where you never put them. The answer you want isn't missing because you're not trying hard enough. It's missing because you've been looking in a place that was never designed to hold it.If you've ever wondered whether the restlessness you carry is something more than a productivity problem, this conversation gives it a name — and a direction worth turning toward.Find us on Spotify @pillayplacepodcasthttps://open.spotify.com/show/6yDlDhEWsh21t2zeg7f5AC?si=B7-HfM0VR6SJuI2i7l4KdgYouTube: @pillayplacepodcast https://www.youtube.com/@PillayPlacePodcast
