So many of us feel like we’re ‘behind’ in life—we tell ourselves we should have more money, should already own a home, or should be having babies by now. But what’s happening in our psychology to make us feel this way? And how do we fix it? In this episode, I answer those questions and share science-backed insights and strategies to help you stop feeling ‘behind’ and start embracing where you are. We cover the arrival fallacy, gold medal syndrome, psychological richness, comparison, societal 'shoulds', and so much more. Whether you're questioning your path or just need a reminder that your life is unfolding exactly as it should, this episode is for you. Ready to uplevel every part of your life?
