Ep. 7 - Imagine a World Without Competition: Escaping the Endless Cycle of Winning and Losing
In this thought-provoking episode, hosts Emily and Allison explore the deep roots and far-reaching effects of competition in our lives. From biology and school systems to sports culture, career pressure, and even holiday hosting, we examine how society conditions us to chase perfection, productivity, and profit—often at the expense of our well-being and connection to others.
We unpack how these invisible systems—fueled by comparison, debt, and disconnection—shape our sense of self-worth, influence social media dynamics, and lead to burnout. Through personal stories and aha moments, we reflect on what it really means to “win” in a world that rewards constant striving… and how to step off that treadmill.
This episode invites you to question the rules you’ve been handed and begin building a life centered on balance, authenticity, and community.
