This week, we're talking about optimization culture and the pressure to constantly improve every part of our lives. From tracking our sleep and counting our steps to chasing the next promotion or perfect morning routine, it can feel like nothing is ever enough. We unpack how social media fuels comparison, why the finish line keeps moving, and whether we're actually becoming happier or just busier. Maybe the goal isn't to optimize every moment, but to enjoy the life we're already living. The “U Didn’t Ask Podcast” welcomes listeners to laugh and learn about “fun, random, life things” along with its hosts Chloe Curlee and Megan McNabb, two recent graduates from Mississippi State University. Throughout different series and episodes, Chloe and Megan dive into anything you can possibly think of. Whether its serious and direct or lighthearted and fun, these hosts are ready to answer all the questions that U Didn’t Ask.
