    The Freedom in Letting Go: A Modern Take on Attachment (S4 E5)

    We all cling to something — success, approval, comfort, control. But the more we hold on, the more we suffer. In a world that tells us to want more, how do we loosen our grip and find rest in enough? In this episode, Daniel Sih and Matt Bain explore the concept of attachment — why we chase what we don’t have, how desire fuels discontent, and what it means to release unhealthy wants. Drawing on ancient wisdom and modern psychology, they unpack practical ways to find peace, freedom, and contentment in a culture of constant craving.

    Why Trying to Be Better Is Bound To Fail (I Do What I Don't Want To Do) (S4 E4)

    How much is enough? And when have I done enough? It’s a question saints and mystics have wrestled with for millennia. As humans, we often set high standards for ourselves and fail to attain and maintain them. Perhaps even more unnervingly, if you haven’t done enough, maybe you aren’t ‘good’ enough. Finding a satisfactory answer to these questions is critical to help us avoid overload, exhaustion, and the endless treadmill of self-help. Today, we dive into deeper questions about where we find a self-identity that is uncoupled from what we do where you can honestly and genuinely say “I am enough.” You can also explore previous seasons of The Spacemakers wherever you listen.

    The Vegan CrossFit Paradox: When Health Becomes Unhealthy (S4 E3)

    Your health is important. But there’s a dark side to the wellness industry. We're asked to do more, be more, and still never feel like we’re enough. The result? An endless treadmill of self-help and wellbeing that can leave us exhausted and dehumanised, even when our intentions are good. In this episode, Matt Bain and Daniel Sih explore the health paradox: how to invest in your wellbeing without tying your identity to how you look. We’ll unpack the inner stories that shape our health behaviours and share practical tips to help you love the process of staying healthy—not just chase the outcome—so you can invest in a healthy lifestyle in a way that’s healthy for you and others. You can also explore previous seasons of The Spacemakers wherever you listen.

    Overcoming Time Anxiety (How To Make Peace With Time) (S4 E2)

    Our lives are short—really short. And there’s never enough time. That’s the challenge: not enough time, but more choices than we can imagine. No wonder so many of us feel anxious about the years ahead. In this episode, Daniel Sih and Matt Bain explore how we think about time, how we use it, and how to make peace with our limits. They also introduce the AWARE framework to help you make progress without adding more—or battling against the time you have left.

    The Self-Help Trap: How Much Better Is Enough? (S4 E1)

    Do you ever feel worn down by the need to be better? We’re told to optimise everything — our health, our relationships, our finances, even our productivity. But beneath the green smoothies and gratitude journals lies the same exhausting pressure: do more, be more… you’re not enough. As one of our clients put it, “All this self-help is killing me.” In this episode, Daniel Sih and Matt Bain step off the self-help treadmill and ask: What if you don’t need to improve? What if being content—and being enough—is the most radical thing you can do? Welcome to Season 4 of The Spacemakers—an anti-productivity pod-course to help you unhook from constant striving and rediscover the simple joy of being enough.

    The Spacemakers - Season 4 Trailer

    How much is enough — and why are we so exhausted by the need to improve ourselves? We’re told to do more, be more, and measure our progress. Over time, that quiet pressure adds up, leaving us worn out rather than fulfilled. Season 4 of The Spacemakers explores a deeper question in our self-help-obsessed culture: What if true happiness isn’t found in more… but enough? Join Daniel Sih and Matt Bain in this reflective pod-course about making space for a life that is truly enough. This short trailer offers a glimpse of what’s ahead.

    The Goal of the Goal: How Real People Get Unstuck (Season 3 Eps 10 - Getting Unstuck)

    Most people don’t actually know what they want. We chase goals—career success, financial security, personal milestones—only to feel underwhelmed once we get there. Why? Because we rarely stop to ask, “What’s the goal of the goal?” In the final episode of Season 3, we unpack this powerful concept (popularised by Dan Heath) and explore how the thing we think we need to get unstuck might not be the thing we truly want. Plus, we’ll give you a sneak peek at what’s coming in Season 4. It’s a fitting finale to help you make space for a surprising second act.

    From Me To We: Why Change Is Better Together (Season 3 Eps 9 - Getting Unstuck)

    Who are you becoming—and who is shaping you along the way? In this episode of The Spacemakers, Matt and Daniel explore why personal change is rarely a solo journey. From habits to health to mindset, we’re deeply shaped by the people we spend time with. Behaviour is contagious—we mimic what we see, not just what we hear. Which means the fastest way to change yourself is to travel alongside others who are heading where you want to go. Whether it’s forming accountable relationships, finding your ‘right tribe,’ or simply being brave enough to go first and inspire change in others, this conversation will reshape how you think about stuckness. You don’t have to do it alone. And maybe you never were meant to.Discover more: INFO-GRAPHIC DOWNLOAD SPACEMAKERS WEBSITE / Season 3 YOUTUBE RAISING TECH HEALTHY HUMANS This episode is made possible with support from our sponsor: Bulk Nutrients  This podcast is recorded and produced by Production Farm Studios Mentioned in this episode: BULK NUTRIENTS PROMO #4 https://www.bulknutrients.com.au/ Bulk Nutrients BULK NUTRIENTS (5% discount) A special thank you to our major sponsor, Bulk Nutrients.
