FOREVER is not equal to SUCCESS | #127


Listen Later

In today’s episode, Caitlin dives deep into the myth of "forever" as a measure of success, encouraging us to embrace change and pivot when necessary. Caitlin's candid sharing inspires a movement towards self-love and understanding that allows room for change and growth. Join the conversation on how to celebrate life's transient phases and liberate yourself from the weight of "forever."


You Will Learn:

  • Understanding why not all aspects of life are meant to last forever and why that's okay.

  • How repairing your relationship with yourself can redefine your interactions and expectations with the outer world.

  • How changes and endings aren't failures but part of a natural and healthy journey of self-discovery and growth.

  • Episode Wisdom Nuggies:


    💬 " Fixing the relationship that you have with yourself will fix how you allow those outside influences to treat you. Not fix, per se, but shift. You need to get so clear on what it means to love yourself that when other people are doing it wrong, you know it.”

    💬 "The idealization of something lasting for the rest of your life as the marker of success can be really harmful.”

    💬 “How am I supposed to stay forever where I'm not being appreciated? That's not how that works. The only thing in my life that lasts forever is my relationship with myself. And so, like, that's my top priority is my relationship with me.”
