#209: How to Move From Stagnation to Fulfilment w/ Dr. Joep van Agteren
Episode description
What if the biggest barrier to fulfilment wasn’t stress or failure - but stagnation?
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Joep van Agteren, a psychologist and mental health researcher, to explore the concept of languishing—a state of feeling stuck, joyless, and disconnected from growth. Studies show that 1 in 5 people are languishing, meaning they’re not clinically depressed but are struggling with a lack of meaning, motivation, and fulfilment.
Dr. Joep has spent years studying mental well-being and developing science-backed strategies to help people move from stagnation to a life filled with purpose and growth. We discuss why so many people feel like they’re just going through the motions, the hidden costs of languishing, and the simple, practical changes that can lead to meaning, connection, and forward momentum in your life.
If you’ve ever felt like stuck in life, this conversation will give you the tools to take action—starting today.
