Why Chasing Success Won’t Make You Happy (And What to Do Instead)

Have you ever hit the milestone — the job, the house, the title — and five minutes later found yourself asking, “What’s next?”

That’s the trap of chasing success. It feels like you’re moving forward, but inside you’re stuck on a treadmill of never-enough.

In this episode, I’m breaking down:
• Why chasing external success always leaves you empty (dopamine loops, comparison, hedonic adaptation)
• The real difference between happiness and fulfillment (and why only one lasts)
• How to shift from chasing to being success — so you feel worthy, aligned, and magnetic right now
• Simple daily practices to embody success without waiting for the next milestone

👉 Tune in if you:
• Feel outwardly “successful” but inwardly unfulfilled
• Keep raising the bar without ever stopping to celebrate
• Want to stop running from lack and start creating from alignment
• Are ready to redefine success on your terms

If You’re Feeling Unfulfilled (or Craving More), Listen to This | I Pivoted in My 40s

Have you ever looked around at your life — the career, the home, the achievements — and thought: “Why do I still feel so empty?”

I get it, because I’ve been there too. After following all the rules, climbing the ladder, and checking the boxes, I still found myself unfulfilled. That’s when I realized success as we’ve been taught to define it isn’t enough.

In this episode, I’m sharing the biggest lessons from my own journey of redefining success — and how you can reset, realign, and finally create a life that feels good on the inside and the outside.

✨ If this resonates, here are 2 ways to go deeper with me right now:

🔥 The Ignite Your Light Summit: Live Fully Now (Sept 13–14)
A 2-day virtual reset designed to help you realign and reclaim the life you’re meant for.

For just $25 you’ll get:

✔ A powerful summit workbook
✔ A bonus integration session with me

Over two days, you’ll learn how to:
• Beat burnout and bring your spark back

Are you waiting for the “perfect time” to finally live the life you’ve been craving? Here’s the truth: waiting has a cost. Every moment you delay stepping into your future self is a moment you reinforce your current path.

In this episode, I share an inspirational reframe from Benjamin Hardy’s Be Your Future Self Now, along with powerful truths from my own experience — plus a simple journal exercise — to help you stop waiting and start living fully today.

👉 Watch this if you:

• Feel like life is passing you by while you keep saying “someday”
• Struggle with second-guessing or waiting for the stars to align
• Want practical steps to close the gap between who you are now and who you want to be
• Are ready to start making choices your future self will thank you for
