HAPPINESS IS OVERRATED

Mafe Anzures
About this episode

We've been taught to chase happiness like it's the ultimate prize, but what if that pursuit is leading us in the wrong direction? In this episode, we explore the idea that happiness is often fleeting, overrated, and even distracting from what truly matters. Instead of fixating on constant joy, we dive into the deeper, more meaningful aspects of life—like growth, purpose, and resilience. Because starting over isn’t about being happy all the time; it’s about embracing the full spectrum of emotions that come with change.

True fulfillment doesn’t come from chasing a feeling—it comes from building something real. We unpack why discomfort, struggle, and even failure are essential parts of the journey, and how letting go of the pressure to "be happy" can actually lead to a richer, more authentic life. If you've ever felt frustrated by the endless pursuit of happiness, this episode is for you. Tune in and redefine what success truly means.

With love, Mafe
