🎙 Season 2 | Episode 40: “Blissful Dissatisfaction”
Welcome back to The Pursuit of Progress — the podcast where we help you grow your mindset, your money, and your momentum.
This week, we’re unpacking a powerful mindset shift that can change everything:

In this episode, we break down:
Why gratitude without growth leads to complacency
Why ambition without presence leads to burnout
How to live in the both/and — fulfilled but never finished
Practical ways to stay grounded AND driven in your daily life
