The Pursuit of Happiness

In this conversation, the hosts discuss the lies we tell ourselves and the psychology behind them. They explore common lies such as 'I'm fine,' 'I'll do it tomorrow,' 'I don't have enough time,' 'I have to be perfect,' and 'Money will make me happy.' They delve into the reasons why we lie to ourselves, including self-preservation and the desire to protect ourselves from embarrassment or conflict. The hosts also share personal experiences and insights related to these lies. In this conversation, Sophia and Judy discuss the lies we tell ourselves that can negatively impact our mental well-being. They explore the belief that money will make us happier, the idea that we are not enough or that something is wrong with us, the comparison trap, the fear of starting over, and the pressure to conform to unrealistic beauty standards. They emphasize the importance of questioning these lies, seeking therapy if needed, and embracing self-acceptance and self-love.
