Episode 5

Setting Goals: What do you want and WHY do you want it?

Published on: 27th June, 2024

In this solo episode, Cass discusses the importance of goal-setting, but understanding why you want the things you want when you're aspiring to achieve or create something in your life. She talks about the trap of attaching your happiness to a goal or outcome, and offers some tips for how you can overcome that.

Cass also discusses the concept of "memetic desire", which is when social trends influence your goals, causing you to aspire to things that aren't aligned with your authentic desires or values, potentially leading to dissatisfaction, negative comparison and feeling behind in life.


If you're thinking about what you want to achieve in the second half of 2024, be sure to give this ep a listen.
