  • S6|E84 The Void Between Goals

    S6|E84 The Void Between Goals
    Nov 20 2025
    What happens when you hit your biggest goals, only to feel a profound emptiness afterward? We share a personal story about a family member who lost a title and, with it, a sense of self, prompting us to reflect on how we define ourselves beyond our achievements.

    Chapter Summary:

    00:00 Success Can Be Disorienting
    03:35 Finding Purpose Beyond Titles
    07:54 Who Are You Without It?

    Featured Quotes:
    • “Success can be just as disorienting as failure.” - Maurice
    • “Who are you really behind the title, the awards, the accolades, the certificates or whatever it is?” - Maurice
    • “I truly, truly believe that answer will determine your next breakthrough.” - Maurice
    Behind the Story:

    Maurice shares a recent experience with a family member who faced a significant repositioning at work, leading to the loss of a title that had become their entire identity. This moment sparked a discussion about the emptiness that can follow major achievements and the necessity of finding purpose and identity beyond external validation. We explore how simple actions, like a smile or a greeting, carry immense power in changing daily interactions and rebuilding self-worth.
