In this episode, Stephanie Nguyen breaks down one of the biggest traps in self-development — mistaking discipline for direction. She shares her own journey of realizing that high performance, structure, and “doing all the right things” mean nothing if the life itself is wrong underneath it all.

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything “right” — the podcasts, the journaling, the workouts, the vision boards — but still feel stuck, disconnected, or unfulfilled, this one’s going to hit home.

It’s not about doing more. It’s about finally fixing what’s not aligned — and building habits after that, not before.
