S1. Ep. 01 - Running on Outdated Programming

from The Gentle Badass · host Maria-Myrsini Dermpoki

You look fine. Maybe even enviable from the outside. You've built a life that ticks a lot of boxes. And privately? Privately you've been wondering when it's going to start feeling the way you thought it would. This is the episode where we name that feeling. In this first episode of The Gentle Badass, Myrsini opens the conversation with the question most people are too afraid to ask out loud: what if the script you've been following isn't actually yours? Through her own story -burnout, a bald patch, and a moment of brutal honesty in a bathroom mirror- she introduces the core idea behind this podcast: You're not broken. You're running on outdated programming. And outdated is very different from broken. In this episode: •Why the most self-aware people are often the most stuck •The script you were handed before you had a choice -and how you forgot it was a script •What "fine" really means when it stops feeling like the truth •The difference between losing yourself and outgrowing yourself •Why you already know -and what it means that you've been resisting it The episode in one sentence: You haven't lost yourself. You've outgrown the version of yourself you were taught to be.
