For years, I didn’t even realize I was settling.
On the outside, my life looked picture-perfect: senior leader in a Fortune 500 company, making more money than I ever imagined, married, traveling the world, and living by the beach.
But inside, I felt disconnected, unfulfilled, and constantly telling myself, “This isn’t that bad. It will get better.”
That’s the sneaky thing about settling—it doesn’t always look obvious. It often hides behind success, comfort, or the fear of the unknown.
In this episode, I share:
You’ll hear my personal stories of settling in my career, marriage, and friendships—and the steps I took to finally reclaim my truth.
If you’ve ever caught yourself thinking “I should be grateful… it’s not that bad… things will get better later”—this episode is for you.
Because settling isn’t weakness. It’s actually proof of your strength and adaptability. But that very strength can keep you stuck in places that no longer serve you.
You deserve more than “good enough.” You deserve alignment, fulfillment, and a life that feels alive.
✨ Listen in, reflect with me, and take your first micro step toward a life that’s true to you.
