Congruent with Lisa Carpenter | The truth beneath success. Why it never feels like enough.

The True Cost of Success (and Why It Never Feels Like Enough)


Listen Later

You’ve achieved more than most people, but if you’re honest, it’s come at a cost — to your health, your relationships, your energy, maybe even your sense of peace. And here’s the kicker: no matter how much you do, it never feels like enough.

In this very first episode of Congruent, Lisa Carpenter pulls back the curtain on the truth about success. Why do so many high-achieving men and women deny or downplay their success? Why does “making it” rarely feel the way we imagined it would? And what does it actually take to create success that sustains you instead of drains you?

Lisa shares her own story of chasing achievement while never feeling successful, and how a life-changing season forced her to embody everything she’d been teaching for over a decade. She reveals the hidden costs of “do-er mode,” the patterns that keep ambitious people stuck, and the shifts required to build a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

 

What you’ll hear in this episode:

  • Why success often comes with hidden costs.

  • The gap between how others see you and how you see yourself.

  • The real reason nothing ever feels like enough.

  • The difference between numbing with busyness vs. living in congruence.

  • What congruent success looks and feels like.

  • What to expect from this podcast each week.

  • If you’ve been chasing achievement but still feel unfulfilled, exhausted, or disconnected, this episode will help you see that you’re not broken — you’ve been conditioned. And there’s a different way forward.
