Description

Ever feel like life’s pulling you in a direction you didn’t choose? Like you’re paddling against a current, but the harder you try, the further you drift? From social media algorithms to career paths, we’re all caught in currents we barely notice. They can sweep us toward growth or drag us into chaos. Whether it’s influencers chasing clicks or careers locking us into identities we never wanted, these currents are everywhere. But here’s the good news: just like in the ocean, you can learn to spot them and decide which ones to ride. By the end of this episode, you’ll have the tools to navigate life’s most powerful force—momentum—and steer toward a future you actually want. Takeaways: How small decisions snowball into massive consequences (good or bad). Why blaming “the system” won’t save you—and what will? How to identify the “currents” shaping your decisions and behaviours. Once you see these currents, you’ll never look at your life the same way again.
