the urge to live a simpler life - #004

What this episode covers

Modern life makes you feel like you have to do everything at once: crush your career, stay fit, grow a side hustle, travel, be social, and somehow keep up with your “personal brand” on top of it. In this episode, I talk about how that pressure pushed me into a constant state of burnout, fantasizing about running away to live a quiet, simple life in a cabin or a van.I share how discovering the idea of essentialism—doing less, but better—helped me realize the real problem wasn’t my life situation, it was that I kept saying yes to too many things and had no clear priority. I get into why learning to say no, picking a true priority, and cutting out distractions (even “good” ones) can make your life feel calmer, more focused, and more your own without needing to disappear into the woods.-----Enjoy the show?
