Listen "Why Enough is Never Enough "
Episode Synopsis
Buckle up, folks! We've got a big episode today! This week we are diving right into the deep end with the question, "Why is Enough Never Enough?" Why are we constantly feeling inadequate and unsatisfied both with what we have and who we are? To find the answer we're going to get a little nerdy about neurology and talk about the brain processes at work - how dopamine is meant to serve us, but can easily be preyed upon in our tech-heavy world to turn us against ourselves. When we understand the how and why behind our impulses, we can also understand what we want to do about it moving forward - and we wouldn't leave you hanging without some practical advice on rising above in order to be the people we want to be.
