Welcome to the fourth episode in my summer mini-series - short episodes each focusing on one thing you need to hear this week that no-one else will say to you.

This week, it’s all about success and whether the definition of success you've been chasing for years actually still fits you.

It's easy to measure success by the obvious things: promotions, salary, the house, the car, how far you've climbed.

There's nothing wrong with any of those things. But the problem is that while you've changed, your definition of success might not have.

What mattered to you in your 20s and 30s might look very different now you're in your 40s or 50s.

Success now might mean having more time with your family. More energy. Looking after your health. Doing work that feels meaningful. Or something completely different.

The important thing is that it's your definition, not somebody else's.

In this episode, I talk about:

• Why we can spend decades pursuing success without ever defining what it means to us.
• How an outdated definition of success can leave you constantly striving but never feeling satisfied.
• Why your priorities, values and relationship with work change as you get older.
• My own tendency to measure success by clients and income – and what I've realised matters just as much.
• The questions you can ask yourself today to redefine success for the person you are now.

Want to explore what success looks like for you now?
