2: The Arrival Fallacy & The Myth of “I’ll Feel Better When”
💻 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube
In this episode of The For Good Life, Jaycee Spagrud explores the arrival fallacy — the belief that relief, peace, or happiness will finally arrive once life looks a certain way. Jaycee breaks down why waiting to feel better in the future doesn’t work, and why postponing how we’re allowed to feel creates unnecessary suffering. Drawing on psychology, lived experience, and ancient wisdom, this episode offers a grounded reframe for anyone who feels stuck, restless, or quietly waiting for life to change.
===== Memorable Quotes
“You don’t feel better when life changes — you feel better when you stop resisting how life feels.”
“The future can’t do emotional work for you.”
“Nothing external was ever meant to satisfy something eternal.”
“Waiting to feel better is one of the most common ways we postpone our lives.”
===== Connect With Jaycee
Jaycee Spagrud is a life coach, speaker, and teacher who helps people build emotional capacity, self-trust, and follow-through by learning how to work with their mind instead of fighting it. After years of coaching, one thing became clear: most struggles — with food, habits, consistency, or self-sabotage — aren’t about discipline. They’re about how we respond to discomfort AKA negative emotions.
