Show notes

If you often find yourself feeling behind in life or thinking, “I’ll be happy when…” this episode is for you.

In this replay of a popular past conversation, Kelly speaks with Jamie Varon, author of the international bestseller Radically Content: Being Satisfied in an Endlessly Dissatisfied World, about how to find greater contentment in a world that is always encouraging us to want more, achieve more, and move on to the next thing.

You will learn:

  • Why contentment doesn’t mean losing your ambition or giving up on your goals
  • How to appreciate where you are today while still pursuing what’s next
  • Why we often feel behind, even when we’ve already achieved a lot
  • How to let go of the belief that happiness is waiting at the next milestone
  • Ways to become more mindful of the pressure you put on yourself to achieve more

Be inspired to let go of some of the pressure, appreciate the season of life you’re in, and pursue your dreams and goals from a place of greater peace and contentment.
