In this episode, Tiffany sits down with Sarayu Meraki, a Wisconsin-based therapist who joined LIMB Academy at a powerful crossroads: turning 40, questioning everything she'd been told about success, and finally asking herself what kind of life she actually wanted.

For years, Sarayu did what so many therapists do — she worked hard, followed the rules, kept her head down, and waited for things to feel "worth it." Instead, she found herself exhausted, disconnected, and quietly wondering if this was really all there was.

This conversation is about identity, grief, reinvention, and what happens when you stop living by other people's timelines and start choosing yourself.

In this episode, Sarayu shares:
  • What turning 40 revealed about the life she'd been unconsciously settling for

  • How growing up without financial modeling shaped her relationship with money and safety

  • Why she realized she was building a practice that looked good on paper — but didn't feel good in her body

  • The moment she stopped outsourcing her decisions and claimed her Life First Fee

  • How redefining success changed the way she shows up as a therapist, partner, and human

  • What it means to let go of hustle and step into intentional, values-led earning

  • Why choosing herself didn't make her less caring — it made her more alive
