EPISODE SUMMARY

Someone gets promoted. Someone buys a home. Someone gets married, starts a family, changes careers, or seems to have figured out exactly where they're going. And suddenly, you find yourself wondering: Am I falling behind?

In this episode of Meditations & Wisdom, Andrew Neel explores why feeling behind in life is so common, especially in a world where we're constantly exposed to other people's milestones. Together, we'll look at social comparison, age expectations, success, self-worth, and the invisible timelines that can make us question our own progress.

If you've been comparing your career, relationships, achievements, or personal growth to where you think you should be by now, this episode offers a different perspective. Through practical reflections, you'll be invited to question whose timeline you're following and reconnect with a definition of progress that actually belongs to you.
