You Don't Actually Want That

everybody has a course, a blueprint, a digital product, a side hustle, or a new way to make money online. and apparently, we're all supposed to be doing all of it. 😂

but at what point did watching somebody else pursue an opportunity convince us that we were missing one?

in this episode, i'm unpacking something i've caught myself wrestling with lately: the exhaustion of everything we could be doing.

we're talking about borrowed ambition, social comparison, the pressure to monetize absolutely everything, and why being capable of more doesn't necessarily mean you're obligated to do more.

sometimes we're not actually dissatisfied with our lives. we're just overstimulated by everybody else's.

and maybe the question isn't whether you could build something else, earn more, or pursue another opportunity.

maybe the question is whether you actually want to.

the goal was never to build every life you could possibly live. it was to build one you actually want.
