The Striver’s Dilemma: Who Are You Without the Push?


Listen Later

In this fourth installment of the Seven Transitions Every Successful Woman Must Navigate series, Kris explores the fog that can settle in after years of striving, building, leading, and achieving.

When the urgency fades, when the goals have been met, when your days are no longer dictated by survival or ambition... who are you now?

This is the striver’s dilemma.

In this episode, Kris shares reflections from two recent retreats—one with Arthur Brooks, one with Rebecca Campbell—that offered wildly different but equally profound insights. She weaves together data, mysticism, and lived experience to guide you through the discomfort (and deep potential) of Transition Four: Reclaiming Future Clarity.

You’ll hear:
  • Why dreaming after success feels murky, not magical
  • How the absence of urgency can feel disorienting instead of freeing
  • The one question to ask before launching into your next project or business
  • Why the next version of you won’t be found in a revenue dashboard or your to-do list

If you’re standing in the in-between—done with what was, unsure of what’s next—this episode will meet you there. Not with answers, but with the kind of questions that can change everything.
