The Cost of Choosing Happiness
In this honest solo episode, Theo invites you to sit at the coffee table for a raw reflection on what it really costs to choose your own happiness and why so many people try to talk you out of it.
Through personal stories and real talk, Theo explores why we shrink ourselves to stay palatable, why we carry other people’s doubts, and how to break free from the spell of feeling like you are “not enough.”
If you’ve ever felt guilty for wanting more, or doubted yourself because others doubted you then listen in because this episode is for you.
Come as you are. Stay because you are welcome. And please know that the coffee is always on and ready for you to take sip.
Welcome back to Theo's coffee table where the coffee is always on and warm.
