Designing a Life That Feels Worth Living
Moving Beyond Autopilot with Dr. Wendy O’Connor
Omni Mindfulness Podcast — Episode #257
You can be successful, capable, and high-functioning — and still feel quietly unfulfilled.
In this episode, Shilpa is joined by Dr. Wendy O’Connor, Stanford-trained positive psychologist and success coach for women entrepreneurs, to explore what positive psychology calls languishing — that in-between state where life works… but doesn’t feel meaningful.
This conversation invites listeners to question inherited definitions of success, recognize the cost of living on autopilot, and begin designing a life aligned with what truly matters — without burning everything down.
In This Episode, We Explore:
- What languishing is — and why it’s not failure
- How high achievers get stuck living by default instead of design
- The difference between stress reduction and fulfillment
- Why awareness is the first step toward meaningful change
- How to move off autopilot with intention and compassion
A Question to Reflect On:
Where in your life are things working — but not feeling meaningful?
