Best self? Sounds fake, but okay...
Just So We're Clear - A podcast by Marissa Trew & Hanli Hoefer
Categories:
This solo episode, Marissa and Hanli chat about the immense pressure we're all under to 'be our best selves' and focus on self-improvement all the... damn... time. Marissa gives her take on why the self-help industry's message of relentlessly pursuing self-improvement can sometimes be toxic, and how we need to remember that life isn't all about always working to be the best or the greatest. Not every experience has to be a life lesson. Not everything needs to be a technique or a method or a mantra. It gets a bit emotional too, as Marissa shares how her own pursuit towards becoming her 'ideal self' has been like running on a treadmill that just seems to keep getting faster.
