We’re constantly told to optimize - our health, our sleep, our productivity, even our downtime. But what if all this endless “dialing in” is actually burning us out?

In this episode of Decoding Wisdom, I explore the counterintuitive idea that doing less - on purpose - can actually help you do better. Inspired by a concept called Deliberate Deoptimization, we unpack why high-achievers often fall into the trap of over-optimization, how to spot it, and most importantly - how to break free from it.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re always “on,” always tweaking, and never quite arriving - this one’s for you.

🎯 Topics in this episode:

• Why the self-improvement trap is real
• The dark side of perfectionism and productivity culture
• A mindset shift that creates more focus, clarity, and peace
• How to stop obsessing over things that don’t actually matter

🎧 Tune in, breathe out, and give yourself permission to stop trying to fix everything.
