Episode 15 - In this episode, we explore The Success Trap —the feeling of emptiness that lingers even after checking all the traditional boxes of success. We’ve been conditioned to believe that achievements, money, and status equal happiness, yet many high achievers find themselves disconnected, restless, and unfulfilled. We break down why traditional success often fails us, highlighting how external validation, an endless finish line, and achievement at the expense of well-being can leave us feeling like we’re constantly chasing something we can’t quite reach. More importantly, we explore how to break free from this cycle, shifting from achievement to alignment . True success isn’t about doing more—it’s about feeling more. By redefining success in a way that resonates with your soul, celebrating the present moment, and focusing on impact over accolades, you can move from striving to thriving. If you've ever wondered "Why don’t I feel happier?" or felt the weight of living a life that looks good on paper but doesn’t feel fulfilling, this episode is for you. Now, let’s take a deep breath, realign, and step into a version of success that actually feels like home.
