episode 2: welcoming feeling good

In this episode, I share how getting fired the day before New Year’s Eve 2024 unexpectedly freed me from an identity rooted in hustle, ambition, struggle, striving, achievement, and pressure. That moment became a turning point—a final goodbye to striving and a wholehearted welcome to what actually feels good. From my business to my relationships, I'm tuning into the dignity of feeling good as my new compass.

Here’s the episode outline:

1. I share the story that was the final straw that broke my camel's back of achievement culture

2. Why I thought I didn't have a hustle culture mentality

3. What is 'feeling good' really about?

4. My 2025 experiments in work, friendships, habits, etc in feeling good

5. Why feeling good isn't about selfishness, being indulgent, greed, or hedonism

6. A gentle ritual to explore your own relationship to feeling good

until next time,

may you welcome the dignity of feeling good
