Round and Round: Getting Off The Hamster Wheel of Life
In this heartfelt solo episode, Donny Raus reflects on what it means to live intentionally rather than getting caught in the never-ending loop of daily routines—the metaphorical “hamster wheel.” After a recent trip to Europe, where simplicity, meaningful connection, and less noise opened his mind, Donny returned to the U.S. only to feel the familiar pull of distractions, pressures, and societal programming.
Through stories of travel, conversations with friends, and honest insights into his own struggles with burnout and self-doubt, Donny offers an invitation to slow down, reconnect with your heart, and ask: What do I truly want? This episode is a raw, real reminder that we’re all creators of our lives—and we must choose presence over pattern.
He also shares the power of daily gratitude, how to mentally design your day before it unfolds, and the impact of making even one small step toward your dream. If you’ve ever felt stuck, busy, or uncertain, this episode will help you pause and reset.
