What does it mean when you feel lost in life?

In this episode, I speak with Dr. Adam Formal, a clinical psychologist who works with elite athletes and people dealing with burnout and addiction.

We explore why so many people feel lost and how small daily decisions can slowly pull you away from who you really are.

This episode will explain why you can feel lost in life and how to start changing it.

Dr. Adam Formal is a clinical psychologist based in NYC.
