Why Not?

#198 Comfort Isn’t the Same as Fulfilment


Listen Later

This episode explores the uncomfortable but deeply honest process of realising you want more—when everything on the surface looks fine.

I talk about what it means to live in that quiet space between “not bad” and “not enough,” and how hard it can be to admit you're ready for something different. Whether it's a shift in your work, relationships, routine, or identity, there's a real fear in acknowledging you’ve outgrown what used to fit.

This isn’t about blowing everything up or throwing shade on your past self. It’s about learning to listen when your inner voice gets louder—and recognising that desire isn’t selfish, it’s information.

I unpack:

  • The guilt of wanting more when nothing is technically “wrong”

  • The stories we tell ourselves about what we should be happy with

  • Why dissatisfaction isn’t a sign of failure—it’s a sign of growth

  • The subtle signs you’re ready to shift (even if you’re scared to)

  • How I’ve personally navigated this space and what I’m still figuring out

If you’ve ever felt like you were meant for more—but couldn’t explain why—this episode will help you feel less alone in that.

If you’ve been stuck in a loop of starting, stopping, and second-guessing—this is for you.
