Why do so many high-achieving women feel unfulfilled, even after checking every box of the “right” goals—career success, family milestones, and personal achievements? In this insightful conversation, I sit down with Dr. Laurie Emery, an expert in human behavior and personal transformation, to unpack The Pressure Paradox: the hidden tension between external success and internal satisfaction.

Dr. Laurie shares why this stuck feeling happens, the subtle ways it shows up in decision-making, and how to break free without blowing up your career, relationships, or life you’ve worked so hard to build. We’ll explore practical strategies to realign with what truly matters, release the weight of unrealistic expectations, and create a life where achievement and fulfillment actually coexist.

If you’ve ever thought, “I should be happier than this,” this episode will give you the clarity and tools to step into your next chapter with confidence and purpose.
