In this episode:

We dive into what happens when high-achieving women realize that the version of success they’ve been chasing no longer fits who they are becoming. Feeling “stuck” isn’t failure — it’s a signal for an upgrade. Zerina and I explore the messy but necessary process of unlearning old habits, how to identify and live by your core values, and why redefining success around fulfillment and intention can completely transform your life. We also discuss how personal growth is non-linear, why burnout is often misdirected energy, and how embracing uncertainty can become a source of strength.
