Welcome to Intimate Sessions, a deeply personal segment of You Vs. You where we explore the truths behind our greatest internal battles. In this episode, Lex opens up about one of the most powerful and misunderstood forces in our lives: success. We grow up believing success means achievement, wealth, status, the perfect partner, or a flawless life, yet many of us reach those milestones only to feel empty, anxious, and disconnected from ourselves.

Through raw reflection and real-life stories, Lex reveals how a lifetime of chasing external validation left him trapped in a cycle of “never enough.” He shares how that belief system collapsed, and how redefining success from something we pursue to something we already are changed everything.

This conversation is an invitation to question the narratives you’ve been taught:

+ What if success isn’t about doing more, but about being more present?
+ What if you didn’t need to “earn” love, peace, or self-worth?
+ What if your biggest goal wasn’t a trophy, but wholeness?

If you’ve ever felt stuck chasing the next achievement or wondered why external wins don’t bring internal peace, this episode will challenge your perspective, and may just free you to build a life aligned with purpose, joy, and authenticity.
