Your definition of success can hold you hostage in the gilded cage you've created, or it can set you free of the chains you've allowed to bind you. This chapter helps you identify what elements of your personal definition of success need tochange, even if you don't can't articulate what you want just yet. Your decision-making will evolve alongside this new definition, and you'll begin to weigh opportunities in terms of how closely they align with your desired state rather than keeping you on a trajectory that brings material success without sufficient fulfillment.

This book is for those who are serious about making change. There are guiding questions at the end of each chapter to help you do the work. To make it easier to follow along, I've created a ⁠free workbook download⁠ so that you have the questions available when you're ready to dive in.

Tune into the episode that addresses the success conditioning that creates blurry lines between culture and conformity, and how the pressure to conform in our personal lives influences our collective experience as a society.

The conditioning associated with the traditional success paradigm has reach far beyond the way we prioritize achievement. It has real implications for how we interact with and view the world at large.

Now, more than ever, it's critical to know what you do have the power to influence within your own life and to do the inner work necessary to deprogram from what professional constructs have taught us to tolerate in service to "success," as that same programming can make us feel hopeless in the face of uncertainty.

No matter what's happening in the world, you get to decide where to place your focus and energy, not just for your own good, but for the good of others. If you're having a hard time processing the reality we find ourselves in, this episode is for you.

If you're feeling stressed, exhausted, stuck, time poor, anxious - the list goes on - it's a clear indication something is off in your life. You're likely in survival mode, caught in the loop of what you've gotten used to, even if it's not actually working or you.

There's no need to overengineer the solution to this problem. In fact, there's a simple question you can ask yourself with the power to change the way you approach your life.

This may sound entirely too basic to be useful, but it does work, and powerfully so. If you're in need of a shake-up, this episode is for you.

If you're ready to dig deeper, check out my book, ⁠The High Achiever's Guide⁠, and my ⁠blog⁠ for further exploration of the conditioning challenges that high achievers face and what to do about them.

What is a dark night of the soul? It can be anything that triggers an extremely difficult time in your life, like the loss of a job, a relationship, an illness, etc. It can also be a very internal process, like having the realization that something in your life isn't what you'd hoped or worked for, a sense that something is off that feels heavy, and comes with a lack of clarity or confusion about how to

Often, even if it's one specific area of life that's calling your attention to the fact that something is off, the challenges are not confined to that area. In other words, that one area is serving as a catalyst for you to tune in and pay attention to what's happening in your life holistically.

It's normal to experience a dark night of the soul, but sometimes it sneaks up on you. Learn what signs to look for and how to handle it when it shows up in your life.

It's the time of year when you start to consider what comes next, but resolutions aren't for everyone. Sometimes they're too big, try to do much, or cyclically end up as a resolution, only to be dropped soon after the year begins.

If resolutions feel like too much pressure or not a good use of time, you can take an honest, hard look at your priorities instead and resolve (ha!) to make 2024 the year you allow your priorities to lead where you put your energy.

This may sound like a boring no-brainer, but it can actually be difficult to discern the difference between what you prioritize and put energy into versus your real priorities.

There are times when more effort doesn't yield different or better results. Now is the time to take advantage of what you learned last year and try an approach that will keep you aligned with what matters to you most.
