The Achievement Trap Podcast.

Many people think that if they didn't have anything to prove, they would sit on their arses all day and stare at the wall.

Paragraph: The Achievement Trap is when we fall prey to the illusion that we MUST achieve in order to prove our worth (which leaves us stressed out and disconnected from our purpose).

The intention of this podcast is to show people, through the example of heart-based entrepreneurs, how fulfilling life can be when we let go of limiting beliefs about how we "should" be living, give up the need to prove that we are "good enough," and start following that strange pull of what we really love.
