  • The Freedom in Letting Go: A Modern Take on Attachment (S4 E5)
    Mar 29 2026

    We all cling to something — success, approval, comfort, control. But the more we hold on, the more we suffer. In a world that tells us to want more, how do we loosen our grip and find rest in enough?

    In this episode, Daniel Sih and Matt Bain explore the concept of attachment — why we chase what we don’t have, how desire fuels discontent, and what it means to release unhealthy wants. Drawing on ancient wisdom and modern psychology, they unpack practical ways to find peace, freedom, and contentment in a culture of constant craving.

  • Why Trying to Be Better Is Bound To Fail (I Do What I Don't Want To Do) (S4 E4)
    Mar 15 2026

    How much is enough? And when have I done enough? It’s a question saints and mystics have wrestled with for millennia. As humans, we often set high standards for ourselves and fail to attain and maintain them. Perhaps even more unnervingly, if you haven’t done enough, maybe you aren’t ‘good’ enough.

    Finding a satisfactory answer to these questions is critical to help us avoid overload, exhaustion, and the endless treadmill of self-help. Today, we dive into deeper questions about where we find a self-identity that is uncoupled from what we do where you can honestly and genuinely say “I am enough.”

  • The Vegan CrossFit Paradox: When Health Becomes Unhealthy (S4 E3)
    Mar 1 2026

    Your health is important. But there’s a dark side to the wellness industry.

    We're asked to do more, be more, and still never feel like we’re enough. The result? An endless treadmill of self-help and wellbeing that can leave us exhausted and dehumanised, even when our intentions are good.

    In this episode, Matt Bain and Daniel Sih explore the health paradox: how to invest in your wellbeing without tying your identity to how you look.

    We’ll unpack the inner stories that shape our health behaviours and share practical tips to help you love the process of staying healthy—not just chase the outcome—so you can invest in a healthy lifestyle in a way that’s healthy for you and others.
