About this episode

The roots of an addiction to self-improvement often stem from the soil of conditional love. This journey often commences within the framework of our upbringing and the relationships we fostered.


Join us as we delve into the origins of this pursuit for constant betterment, examining its ties to the environments we were raised in and the interpersonal dynamics we experienced. Our discussion sheds light on how conditional love in our formative years can foster an unending quest for personal development.
