Success. We all chase it, but few of us ever stop to ask what it actually means. Is it the job title, the salary, the car, the relationship, the house… or is it something softer, like peace of mind, freedom, and living on your own terms?

In this episode of Friends with Benefits, we sit down and get brutally honest about the myths and realities of “making it” in your 20s and 30s. We talk about:

🎓 The pressure of chasing traditional markers of success (Big 4 jobs, degrees, promotions).

💡 The messy transition from what success was sold to us as kids vs. what it looks like in adulthood.

🥂 The small wins that count more than the highlight reel — from paying rent on time to surviving toxic work culture.

🪞 How comparison to friends, family, and social media can trick you into thinking you’re behind.

🌱 Why redefining success might be the key to actually feeling fulfilled.

This conversation is part laughter, part therapy session, and part wake-up call. By the end, you might just realize that success isn’t a destination — it’s the tiny everyday moments you never gave yourself credit for.
