Description

Why do so many high achievers feel stressed, behind, or “not enough” even when life looks good on paper?

In this episode, Sofia and Marielle deep dive into The Gap and the Gain and unpack the core idea that changes everything: how you measure yourself determines how you feel.

We talk about:

• the difference between living in the gap vs the gain
• why comparison (especially via social media) keeps us stuck
• how high ambition can quietly turn into stress and self-criticism
• parenting, entrepreneurship, grief, and why progress is often invisible to us
• simple but powerful practices like measuring backwards and tracking daily wins

This is a full-book conversation, grounded in real life, emotions, and lived experience.

If you’ve ever felt that you should be further along, doing more, or being better, this episode is for you.
