Description

In this episode of the Practical Spirituality Podcast, Gareth and Kim delve into the complexities of motivation. They discuss how fear, trauma, and societal pressures can influence feelings of drive or stagnation, guiding listeners toward finding balance between intense motivation and the contentment that comes from inner peace.

Reflecting on their own experiences, Gareth and Kim confront the exhaustion caused by trying to meet unrealistic societal expectations. They encourage listeners to rethink the “playbook of life,” redefine success on their own terms, and discover fulfillment by stepping outside traditional norms.

Our hosts explore the discomfort that arises when challenging ingrained beliefs,  and show how feeling stuck can become a catalyst for self-discovery. They emphasize creating supportive environments and looking out for internal cues before burnout sets in. By questioning social stigma, they guide listeners on a journey toward a more sustainable form of progress and a deeper level of self-understanding.
