About this listen

Success often leaves us feeling empty because we're chasing an outdated model that wasn't designed to make us happy in the first place. The success hangover—that strange emptiness after achieving what you thought would bring fulfillment—is common among high achievers who constantly move their goalposts without celebrating their wins.

• Breaking free requires defining what "enough" looks like for you
• Success isn't a destination you arrive at, but a feeling you experience
• Most of us chase someone else's definition of success (society's, parents', or even our past selves')
• The key question isn't "what more can I achieve?" but "what feels good to me?"
• Small, intentional shifts create sustainable change better than dramatic overhauls
• Audit your time and energy to see what's draining you versus fulfilling you
• Setting boundaries isn't harsh—it's necessary to create space for what matters
• Celebrate small wins daily to create new core memories and build momentum
• The life you want is closer than you think—it just requires consistent small steps
