What if your definition of success was never really yours to begin with?

In this episode, Ana Cruz shares the quiet unraveling of work, worth, and old beliefs — shaped by childhood memories, immigrant grit, and years of self-reliance. From a grocery store moment in Ontario to the internal shift that came in her 40s, Ana reflects on how success used to mean exhaustion… and how she’s redefining it on her own terms.

You’ll hear:
• The unexpected childhood story that shaped her money mindset
• How hustle culture and immigrant work ethic tangled with her identity
• Why mental exhaustion counts — and why rest doesn’t need to be earned
• What it means to build a life that feels good, not just looks good

This is for the woman quietly asking: Is this really it?
You’re not broken. You’re just becoming.
