May 08, 2025 Existentialism for the Modern Soul w/ Millennial Therapist Sara Kuburic
What if you’re not meant to find yourself, but to create yourself? In
this Soul Boom episode, existential psychotherapist and bestselling
author Sara Kuburic (It’s On Me) joins Rainn Wilson for a deep conversation about identity, self-loss, and the illusion of authenticity in the digital age. After diagnosing what makes The Office's Dwight Schrute so...unique, "The Millennial Therapist" (as she's known online) joins Rainn to explore how modern life disconnects us from our inner truth and how existentialism offers a path back to meaning through responsibility, embodiment, and deliberate choice. This is a soul-searching, perspective-shifting dialogue for anyone who feels overwhelmed, unseen, or stuck in someone else’s version of success.
