Description

Ever pulled through a grueling 5K rowing event, feeling the burn with every stroke? That's exactly where our latest journey begins, as we recount the sweat, strain, and sheer satisfaction of testing our limits. We're not just here to talk about physical fitness though; we're peeling back the layers on that elusive state of being known as happiness. With insights from the Andrew Huberman podcast featuring the indomitable David Goggins, we explore the brain's ties to willpower and the art of embracing discomfort for growth.

We all hunger for freedom, yet it's in the spaces between constraints that we often find our deepest sense of fulfillment. Join us as we discuss how paradoxical it may seem, the act of chicken sexing (yes, you read that right) can offer a masterclass in contentment within repetition. We also share personal strategies on staying present and the transformative power of daily gratitude, proving that sometimes, the simplest habits can lead to the most profound changes in our lives.

Let's talk about rewiring our brains for positivity, shall we? We'll dive into the realities of dopamine detox – imagine finding bliss in a simple salad after weeks of a minimalist diet. And if you've ever felt trapped by your environment, we'll discuss the importance of gratitude and the courage to change your surroundings. It's an adventure through the fitness of the body and mind on the latest episode of the Unbecoming Platypus podcast, with not a French fry in sight (though we might yearn for one afterward).
