Ever met a milestone you should have been excited about, only to feel disappointed?

When you're working towards a goal, your brain is flooded with dopamine. But when you finally reach it, the dopamine stops. This is part of the reason why reaching success doesn't always feel great (but working towards it does).

I'm revealing three hardships about finding success today, and I'm also sharing how you can shift your perspective when you meet this moment. You really can learn how to move forward when the high fades.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• What happens in our brains when we're chasing a goal.
• How the arrival fallacy works and what that might look like for you.
• What no one tells you about the post-goal dopamine crash (and what's next).
• The unexpected way I felt when I hit my first million-dollar business milestone.
• How the purpose void pushed you on the journey, but disappeared at your destination.
• What success really is (and why this tough season isn't the end of the road).
• A question to reflect on if you're feeling deflated after reaching a major milestone.
