Episode 45: When Did Society Redefine Living Well?
Every generation inherits a definition of what it means to live well, but how often do we stop and question it?
In this episode, we explore how society’s idea of the “good life” quietly shifted over the last century from slower, more physical daily living to a culture built around speed, convenience, and productivity.
The question isn’t whether modern life is good or bad, it's whether the definition of living well we inherited still makes sense.
This episode is an invitation to pause, notice the pace of modern life, and ask a simple but important question: Are we living well… or just living fast?
If you’d love to keep the conversation going, I’ve written a companion piece over on my Substack where we’ll explore this idea a little further and continue the discussion about what living well actually looks like in modern life.
And if you want to sit with the questions we talked about today, that’s also where you’ll find the journal prompts from this episode.
