Summary

Socialization tells us that happiness comes from hitting the right milestones—prestigious career, perfect body, ideal partner. We’re taught that once we check off all the boxes and achieve enough, fulfillment will follow. But is that really true?

After 400 episodes of Unfuck Your Brain, I’ve completely transformed my life—but not by following the blueprint society handed me. The real shift happened when I stopped chasing the generic dream everyone else told me I should want and started figuring out what I actually wanted for myself. In today’s episode, I’m sharing the three things I’ve learned that actually helped me build my dream life, plus the concrete steps that can help you start creating yours.
