You ever hit the milestone, stack the wins… and still feel hollow?
I’ve chased success, only to wonder if I lost something more valuable along the way. Today, we’re exposing the crisis that plagues many success stories, because when your identity is built on achievement, peace never arrives. Let’s figure this out together.

What You’ll Discover in This Episode:

Reflection Prompts

• The Mask: What part of you feels performative, even in your wins?
• The Mismatch: Whose vision are you chasing? Where’s yours?
• The Void: What fills you when you’re not producing, proving, or performing?

Exercises

• Unmask (10 minutes): Free-write a list of roles or personas you’ve adopted to succeed. Circle any that no longer serve you.
• Reclaim (1 day): Do one thing this week just for you—no optics, no approval. Let it nourish, not prove.
• Anchor (Ongoing): Each morning, ask: “What would wholeness choose today?” Write the answer before starting your to-do list.
