In this special solo birthday episode of Changemakers with Valerie Fischer, Valerie opens up about her personal journey of redefining success beyond titles, accolades, and external validation. Drawing from her own experience as a former executive in one of the largest corporations in the Philippines, she shares the pivotal moments that led her to question the traditional metrics of achievement. Valerie invites listeners to reflect on what truly brings them joy, peace, and fulfillment—whether it’s quality time with friends, freedom in their schedule, or making a meaningful impact in their community. She emphasizes that success isn’t one-size-fits-all and that it’s okay to evolve, shift perspectives, and define success based on your own values. If you’ve ever felt the pressure to keep climbing without knowing why, this episode is a grounding reminder that your worth is not measured by titles—but by the life you consciously choose to build.
