When Success Stops Feeling Good - The Story Behind ThriveWorthy

In the first episode of the ThriveWorthy Podcast, Alicia Dee shares the unfiltered story behind why she created ThriveWorthy, and how she followed a path she hadn't planned on, but ultimately couldn’t ignore.

After more than two decades as a senior HR executive, Alicia reached what she believed was the pinnacle of her career. The title. The impact. The paycheck. From the outside, it looked like she had made it. But on the inside, something felt deeply off.

In this episode, Alicia talks about the subtle (and not-so-subtle) signs of misalignment  - the anxiety, nervous system overload, and quiet loss of self - and how meditation, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation didn’t just help her cope; they helped her hear the truth she had been avoiding.

Listeners will hear about:

• What burnout and misalignment actually feel like in the body
• Why success that feeds the ego can still drain the soul
• How intuition speaks, often as a whisper before it becomes "loud"
• The moment Alicia realized something had to change
• And why leaving corporate wasn’t about having a perfect plan, but about trusting herself

Alicia also shares two reflection questions that changed everything for her — and that can help listeners reconnect with what "thriving" truly means in their own lives and careers.

This episode is for anyone who has done everything “right,” yet feels the pull toward something more aligned, more authentic, and more true.
