This episode is a softer look at the rat race, where it came from, why so many of us feel trapped in it, and how to find peace even while chasing big dreams. We explore the history behind the pressure to “keep up,” the emotional weight of comparison and timelines, and what it really means to redefine success on your own terms.

If you’ve been feeling behind, tired, overwhelmed, or stuck on a path you didn’t consciously choose, this one is for you.
It’s a reminder that you’re allowed to move slower. You’re allowed to choose presence over pressure. You’re allowed to build a life that feels like living, not racing.
