In this episode of The Optimistic Beacon, we’re stripping away the academic jargon to uncover what it actually means to live "The Good Life." Drawing on the groundbreaking work of psychologist Carl Rogers, we challenge the modern obsession with reaching a final destination—the perfect career, the perfect body, or the "perfect" version of ourselves.

We explore the concept of the Fully Functioning Person and why Rogers believed that true fulfillment isn't a trophy you win, but a way you move through the world. If you’ve been feeling like a "work in progress" that’s never quite finished, this episode is a permission slip to stop treating your life like a project and start living it as a process.
