Why doesn’t the thing you once desperately wanted make you happy forever?
In this solo episode, Annabelle dives into hedonic adaptation — the psychology behind why we can get used to the things we once thought would make us so happy.
From relationships and careers to money, achievements and everyday life, Annabelle gets vulnerable and shares her own experiences with this feeling, while unpacking why our brains are wired to return to a familiar level of happiness.
It’s a little science, a little self-reflection, and a very honest conversation about learning to appreciate where we are instead of constantly chasing the next thing.
If you’ve ever thought “I’ll be happy when…”, this episode might be for you.
