38. Why Doing Everything “Right” Still Leaves You Unfulfilled
Mon Jan 19 2026
You know that sensation of “I’ve done everything right, so why am I feeling so unfulfilled?”
That’s exactly what I am talking about in this episode.
Here’s why: you’ve checked all of the boxes that were presented to you, built the life you were “supposed” to build, followed all the rules, so why doesn’t it feel the way you thought it would?
I discuss the idea of a hidden mindset that keeps us stuck in guilt, regret, and quiet dissatisfaction, and how learning to accept your life as it is, without needing to change it, opens the door to fulfillment, integrity, and real possibility.
This episode is about shifting how you see your past, your present, and your future, and why Future Self work changes everything.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
Why fulfillment doesn’t come as a “reward” for doing life correctlyHow the belief “I should be happier by now” quietly creates guilt and shameWhy achievement, success, and more goals don’t fix the emptinessThe difference between regret and possibility, and why it mattersHow acceptance creates freedom, without giving up on growthA simple journaling exercise to release resentment and clarify what you actually wantThe Future Self Mindset Program is where I teach this way of thinking in a deeper, more intentional way. It’s a space where we stop asking “what should be different?” and start asking “how do I want to relate to my life now, and who do I want to become from here?”
