Growing up, I often heard that life is complicated, like it’s some kind of rule we all have to follow. It’s almost ingrained in us—if life isn’t full of struggles and complications, it somehow lacks value.

But is that really true? Over time, I’ve come to realize that complications don’t make life more meaningful—simplicity does. In this episode, I’m breaking down why we overcomplicate things, how I’ve learned to simplify my own life, and why focusing on what truly matters can make life so much easier.
