Summary

Are you considered “successful” by societal standards, but can’t enjoy your success because you’re busy moving on to whatever’s next?

Or do you constantly feel behind, like you could be doing more?

Have you checked all the ‘big’ boxes in life (degree, career, love, stuff), but still feel unfulfilled or uninspired by what you’ve achieved?

If you answered yes, this episode is for you because I am talking about the power of redefining success for less burnout, especially for high-functioning codependents (HFCs). I’m also giving you real-life examples of how our stories about success can lead us astray and practical steps to take to clarify what success means to you.

And sometimes I hear from some of you that feel like in your

0:56.0

career, you're just checking boxes and kind of boxes that other people thought you should check.

So many of you are telling me that you're in careers that you don't really feel fulfilled in.

1:25.3

success and how you can actually shift the way that you think about your
