Podcast #21: Progress - A Necessary Path Or A Self-inflicted Burden?

In this week’s podcast I question the pervasive "self-improvement" culture, arguing that constant striving for progress isn't always healthy or necessary. I was inspired by a statement by one of the fitness instructor's on my Peloton app about progress and I contrast it with the idea of contentment and acceptance of one's current state. This podcast prompts listeners to consider the pressures of this culture and whether constant self-improvement is truly beneficial, and includes recommendations that further explore related themes such as productivity, goal setting, and the impact of technology.

Loved this episode? You can find extra goodies, gentle tools, and printable doses of wonder over in my Ko-fi shop. You can also buy me a coffee to help support me. Every purchase supports this quiet corner of the internet and helps keep the podcast going. Thank you for being here. 💛
