Síntesis del Episodio

The Overcompensating Podcast , Episode 7In this episode, we reflect on how curiosity, learning, and openness often get quietly replaced by “that’s just age” once certain life milestones are reached. Without judgment, we explore how giving up becomes socially acceptable, reinforced by scripts that promise stability and comfort — and how rarely those scripts are questioned.We talk about what slowly fades when we stop paying attention: curiosity, connection with younger generations, and a sense of time that feels alive rather than repetitive. The point isn’t rejecting conventional paths, but noticing when we’re following them automatically. Staying open isn’t rebellion or identity — it’s a choice. And while choosing differently can create friction, it may also be what keeps life feeling awake and genuinely full.
