"This is the only example we get to see in the online world, which is more is more, scale bigger, do more, have more clients, more money, everything's more. But no one really questions and I certainly didn't. Is that where I want to go?" - Lydia Lee

This episode also takes an introspective turn, as I share a pivotal chapter of my life that jolted me to reassess my workaholic tendencies and redefine success. I delve into my healing journey, discussing the role of therapy in helping me shape healthier boundaries and unlearn limiting beliefs ingrained by my immigrant background. We also address the need for accountability in striking a healthier work-life balance.
Lydia reflects on her escape from corporate confines and the journey she undertook to redefine success. We discuss the societal pressure of conforming, the struggle to balance work-life, and the need to listen to our inner voice in entrepreneurship.
