Is this it?

Why Aren't We Talking About This? episode artwork for Is this it?

You've got so much of what you thought you wanted — so why is there still a little voice asking, is this really it?

This episode was recorded live at Home, Life & You at the ExCeL in London, in front of a real audience. With coach Nadia Patel, we explore a question quite a few of us have asked ourselves at some point: is this it? That feeling when you look around at your life and, on paper, everything is pretty good. You've got so much of what you thought you wanted — but there's still this little voice asking, is this really it? Is this what the rest of my life is going to look like? Then, almost immediately, you feel guilty for even thinking it.

We get into what do we actually want, why we feel so bloody uncomfortable admitting it, and what's really stopping us going after it. A huge thank you to the team at Home, Life & You for making space for this conversation to happen.

Core themes explored

  • That little voice asking “is this it?” even when life looks good on paper
  • The guilt that shows up almost as soon as we admit we want something different
  • What do we actually want — and why is it so uncomfortable to say out loud
  • What's really stopping us from going after it
