Why do many people realize after 35-40 that they're not living their life? Is it possible to learn to be happy? And why don't love, career, and money always bring inner peace? In this episode, we talk with Olga Sokolova about growing up, happiness, fears, love, relationships, age, and self-discovery. This isn't a conversation about motivation or "success." It's about what happens to a person when everything seems to be working out, but inside, a feeling of emptiness remains. In this episode: • Why many successful women feel unhappy; • How to stop living for other people's approval; • What changes after 35-40; • Is it possible to find love in adulthood; • Why you can't build happiness solely on your career; • How to stop controlling everything; • What's the biggest mistake "good girls" make? • Why do women need self-fulfillment? • Why happiness is a skill; • What's really important in the end?
