What happens when you’ve done everything right, hit the milestones, followed the plan, built the “good life” and still feel like something’s missing? In this week’s episode, I’m joined by transformational coach and spiritual mentor Hélène Caniac for a powerful conversation about what it really means to move from achievement to fulfillment. Together, we explore the embodied, lived-in practice of self-trust, pleasure, and presence; how to sustain your power and purpose without burning out or betraying yourself.

We dive deep into the systems that have systemically severed our self-trust, from capitalism and productivity culture to patriarchal conditioning and the ways spirituality itself can become another form of performance. Hélène unpacks how disconnection has been woven into our collective DNA for generations, and why rebuilding trust with ourselves is one of the most radical, world-changing acts we can take.

If you’ve been craving a softer, truer way of living, a way that honors both your depth and your belonging, this episode will feel like a homecoming.

In this episode, we explore:

• The shift from achievement to fulfillment — how to move beyond external success and create a life rooted in alignment, joy, and embodied purpose.
• The systems that sever our self-trust — unpacking how patriarchy, capitalism, and performance-driven spirituality keep us disconnected from our power.
• Expanding capacity for joy and freedom — practical tools to cultivate presence, discernment, and nervous-system resilience through seasons of chaos or change.
• Pleasure as a path of leadership — how enjoyment, play, and authenticity become fuel for purpose, creativity, and sustainable impact.
• Embodiment in everyday life — living your spirituality “in traffic,” in your relationships, and in the ordinary rhythms of work, motherhood, and leadership.
• Redefining success — shifting from output and performance toward integrity, connection, and fulfillment that actually feels good in your body.
• The power of collective healing — remembering that true transformation happens in relationship, through community, curiosity, and shared humanity.
