Modern life keeps asking us to choose: work or life, career or wellbeing, keeping pace or making space.

But what if the answer isn’t either/or, but both-and?

Season 5 of The Spacemakers explores how both-and thinking can help us navigate the tensions of an increasingly complex world.

Join Daniel Sih and Matt Bain for this practical and thought-provoking pod-course about being busy and rested, online and offline, planned and spontaneous, and caring for others and ourselves.

This short trailer offers a glimpse of what’s ahead.

What if the beliefs holding you back aren’t actually true?

In this bonus episode of The Spacemakers, Daniel Sih is joined by New York Times bestselling author Nir Eyal to explore ideas from his new book, Beyond Belief. They unpack why knowing what to do isn’t always enough to create change, and why our beliefs may be the missing piece between intention and action.

Nir explores how our beliefs shape what we see, feel and do, the difference between limiting and liberating beliefs, and why changing the way we think about ourselves can change the way we behave. He also shares a practical approach for identifying beliefs that may be holding us back and experimenting with new perspectives that increase motivation and reduce suffering.

People matter. Our lives are shaped by the relationships around us. But for many of us, the quiet work of seeking approval is also the root of our exhaustion. We tie our worth to what others think, replay conversations, and never quite feel like we’re truly enough.

In this Season 4 finale of The Spacemakers, Daniel Sih and Matt Bain explore how to love people deeply without letting their opinions define us. They discuss and critique Mel Robbins’ Let Them theory, summarise the AWARE framework, and offer a glimpse of what’s coming in Season 5. It’s a rich and fitting conclusion to our deepest season yet — and even if we’ve been talking about ‘enough’, we secretly hope you’ll want a little more.
