Today’s adulting confession: I have a toxic relationship with success.

Welcome back to another episode of “I’m the problem, it’s me,” where I call bullshit on myself for the things I’m getting wrong, so we can all learn from the struggle. 

I’ve always struggled with perfectionism and getting caught up in an endless cycle where no success is ever enough, I’m constantly dissatisfied with my achievements, and always in search of something I can’t grasp because I’m forever moving the benchmark of what success should be.

I’ve learned that the antidote to this unachievable idea of success is (spoiler alert!) learning to embrace the journey, and find fulfillment in the doing. 

Today’s episode dives into the game-changing reframe my amazing career coach gave me to help me redefine success and overcome my limiting beliefs. If you’re feeling stuck, this is a must-listen tool that has stopped everyone I’ve shared it with in their tracks. 

Tune in to hear more about:

• Perfectionism and defining your self-worth 
• Feeling dissatisfied with your successes 
• How my toxic ideas of success have held me back 
• The a-ha advice that reframed my idea of success
• How I now define failure 
• Overcoming comparison and procrastination 
• The power of self-accountability for confidence and self-efficacy 

You’ve got this!
