Beyond the Scale

101. Stop Chasing the Future: How to Find Purpose in the Present Moment


Listen Later

In this episode of Beyond the Scale, co-host Maddie emphasizes the importance of living in the present and finding fulfillment in everyday moments rather than constantly chasing future goals. Drawing from her personal fitness journey and career experiences, Maddie reflects on how focusing too much on "what's next" led her to overlook milestones, relationships, and the beauty of the present. By grounding in the present, celebrating progress, and prioritizing what truly matters, Maddie inspires her audience to create a purposeful life now rather than waiting for happiness to arrive in the future.
