About this episode

Feeling the need to improve ourselves is a positive thing! You don't want to just spend your life lazing about on the couch. Whether intentional or not, we, as humans, are always learning. If you have ever been in a competitive environment, you probably also noticed that it gave you a drive that helped you reach objectives that you thought were impossible. However, this competitive spirit is not always a positive thing. And in this episode, we dive deep into why it'd be a good idea to re-think your competitive spirit if it has a negative, paralyzing effect.
