Upon conquering milestones we've long aspired to reach, it's common to dwell on perceived shortcomings, overshadowing the journey and personal growth. Put simply, when we achieve big goals, we often focus too much on what we think we did wrong, which takes away from celebrating our successes and the journey we took to get there. The key is to notice and value personal growth along the way, instead of getting stuck in self-criticism.

Escape the disappointment of unrealized expectations, and tune in as Ann shares her uplifting journey to happiness and fulfillment. This episode is a guide for those wanting more but feeling inadequate—unlock the keys to realizing your true potential.
