The Pursuit of Wholeness: Seeking a Fulfilled Life Over Temporary Happiness
Empowering Midlife Wellness with Dr. Susan - A podcast by Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith

Today, I am joined by a friend and regular guest on the podcast, Meg Ellis. Meg is an incredible life coach with Phoenix 8 Consulting and a fitness professional. In this episode, we challenge the pursuit of happiness, a founding aspect of our culture today, and talk instead about a different concept, which is the pursuit of wholeness and being fulfilled long-term. We find that the frantic pursuit of happiness, or instant gratification, ultimately does not lead us to a fully alive life. We will focus on what it looks like to live in wholeness and the value of being comfortable sitting in discomfort and processing painful emotions, which does not come naturally. Meg and I will give personal examples of what this has looked like in our lives, and we hope this episode will leave you feeling inspired to pursue wholeness over temporary happiness in your own life!
