The Paradox of Self-Improvement with Annie Moussu | Vedic Astrologer Fiona Marques and I discuss the traps of personal development and how it can keep us in the rat race of "not-good-enough".

It was a joy to chat with Vedic Astrologer and Ayurvedic Life Coach Fiona Marques on her podcast, The Vedic Astrology Podcast.

Fiona and I contemplated these questions:

  • Is it possible to do too much self-improvement work?
  • Are we driven to improve from our ego’s sense of fear and lack?
  • What modality is most suited to us based on our Vedic Astrology chart?
  • What are some of the traps and pitfalls of self-improvement?

We also explore how a variety of influences such as perfectionism, Protestant work ethic, success-envy and even our own ancestry can take us away from the joy of the present moment and have us constantly in the rat race of “not-good-enough”.
