Welcome to this week's episode of the Let's Get Deeper Podcast.

Today, we dive into why and how we can create our own suffering and why we're addicted to it - prompted by my own reflections during and following a psychology session.

This was prompted by my current journey with he first little challenge I set for myself in 2025 being throwing myself into something I never thought I'd do (or even know existed until recently) and it's a bodybuilding preparation. The way I heard others speak about competition prep being challenging, mentally, physically and emotionally exhausting made me think 'heck yeah, this is a great one to try and test how far positive mindset can get you in the face of discomfort' and despite now being in the depths and where I'm being told I should be struggling.. I'm not.

This episode I speak on how this in itself, alongside expecting or waiting for struggle is the ironic part of suffering.

I hope you find this episode to be entertaining (please excuse the circles and potentially slow delivery of my thoughts - though I'm not suffering physically, mentally or emotionally, I will use the excuse of being low on food and adaptong 'prep brain' as my cover for the slowness ;)

As always, with love
