Ep. 100: You're Not Behind in Life - Why the Arrival Fallacy Ruins the Joy of Your Journey

Episode 100: We made it to 100 episodes y'all! But this milestone episode isn’t your typical highlight reel. Instead, Amanda Powers gets vulnerable about what really happens when you chase your dreams. After hitting episode 100, Amanda shares the loneliness, self-doubt, and emotional breakdown that came right after recording an interview—and why those breakdowns can actually signal that a breakthrough is near.

This raw reflection dives into the arrival fallacy (why reaching milestones often feels less satisfying than expected) and why progress matters more than perfection. Amanda also unpacks the importance of building community, practicing self-compassion, and celebrating growth instead of waiting for a “finish line.”

If you’ve ever felt lost on your journey, wondered if you’re the only one who believes in your dream, or struggled with resilience in times of doubt, this episode is a reminder that you’re not alone. The wanderer’s path is never straight—but it’s worth it.
