Episode 18: What if the version of “success” you’ve been chasing… isn’t actually yours?
In this episode, we explore how your idea of success was formed and why it might be time to question it, especially if you’re considering a career change.
Many of us carry an image of success that was shaped by our upbringing - our parents, culture or an earlier versions of ourselves. We might have been chasing promotions, titles, money or status. But as we grow, our priorities shift. What felt meaningful at 25 may feel completely different at 35, 45, or beyond.
In this episode, we dive into:
- Why you've likely been chasing a fixed image of success in your mind
- Why it’s essential to reassess success based on your current age and stage of life
- Reflective questions to help you redefine success on your own terms
You’ll be invited to get honest about what success really looks like for you now. Not who you used to be, not who others expect you to be, but who you are today.
If you’re thinking about changing careers, this conversation will help you make decisions rooted in clarity rather than pressure, comparison, or habit.
Because sometimes the first step in changing your career is changing your definition of success.
