Sunday Set Up Ep. 50: Stop Living in the “I’ll Be Happy When…”

Author: Heal Squad August 16, 2026 Duration: 36:36
Happy Sunday, Heal Squad! Welcome to The Sunday Set Up, part of our new Heal Squad Weekend. Life lessons to help you start the week. This week, we explore why so much of life comes back to letting go… of outcomes, expectations, and the belief that happiness is waiting somewhere on the other side of the next accomplishment. We talk about the advice “not postpone your happiness,” and how easy it is to convince ourselves we’ll be happy WHEN: we get the promotion, the money, the relationship, the house, or finally accomplish the thing we’ve been chasing. We talk growth mindset, doing your best without being attached to the outcome, and how sometimes real growth isn’t pushing the rock harder…it’s realizing you can finally put it down. We go deep into Kev’s Speaker Emporium and Pagers, conversion vans, 80s sound systems, ”play personnel” skating-rink hot chocolate, the questionable love of vending-machine chicken soup, and the arrival of Halloween decorations. This week, ask yourself: What happiness am I postponing? What am I pushing too hard to control? And what might happen if I did my best… and then simply let go? Have a great week, Heal Squad. We’ll Talk Shawtly!
