If Self-Help Worked, Wouldn’t We Feel Better by Now?
If self-help was actually working, wouldn’t we feel better by now?
This episode is for anyone who has the tools, the discipline, and the information — and still feels anxious, overwhelmed, reactive, or exhausted.
In this conversation, we get honest about why modern self-help keeps people managing symptoms instead of finding real peace. We unpack how the same system that created comparison, pressure, and burnout is now trying to fix it — and why that never fully works.
In this episode, we talk about:
• Why more tools haven’t made us feel better
• How self-help trains people to manage instead of heal
• Why anxiety and exhaustion are signals, not failures
• The nervous system cost of comparison and constant optimization
• Why trends like “Let Them” feel good but fall short
• What a different blueprint for life actually looks like
• How peace comes from alignment, not performance
If this conversation resonates and you’re ready to take a next step,
Launch Your Rocket is open to you.
It’s a free community and framework to help you shift off the world’s blueprint and build life from alignment.
