Back to EpisodesFeeling "Behind" in Life — Where That Idea Comes From (and How to Think About It)
Description
A lot of people feel like they're "behind" in life.
Behind in career.
Behind in relationships.
Behind financially.
But where does that idea actually come from?
In this solo episode, I break down how the feeling of being "behind" is constructed—and why it doesn't hold up under closer examination.
We explore:
• What you're actually comparing yourself to
• How timelines get inherited rather than chosen
• Why external markers (career, money, relationships) become proxies for progress
• The difference between a real objective and a social expectation
• How to step back and define what you actually want
This isn't about motivation.
It's about clarity.
Because once you understand what you're measuring yourself against,
the feeling of being "behind" starts to change.
