Why Chasing Happiness is Keeping You Stuck with Sophia Dawson #5


Listen Later

We've been taught that happiness is the goal. But what if that idea is the very thing that’s making us feel stuck, anxious, or like we’re constantly falling short?

If you’ve ever wondered why you’re still not happy, even when you're ‘ticking the boxes’... this one’s for you my guys!

This episode is here to shake up the belief that we should always be chasing happiness… and offers a far more meaningful alternative (I promise, take a listen and you’ll see!).

Join me, Senior Psychologist Sophia Dawson as I explore:

  • Why the pressure to “feel happy” is keeping you stuck
  • Why fulfillment comes from values, not vibes
  • The unhelpful ways we try to “control” feelings (and how they boomerang back)
  • How to stop waiting for happiness to start living
  • The role of your future self in guiding your decisions today

This episode is going to leave you feeling inspired to live a life that is guided by what matters to you, whether happiness is present or not. Cheers to a new measure of success, my friends ✨
