"IT NEVER ENDS"

We live in a world where success has become increasingly visual.

The clothes. The beauty treatments. The aesthetic homes. The luxury holidays. The perfectly curated social media feeds.

But at what point does looking successful start costing more than it's worth?

In this episode, we're exploring the hidden financial, emotional and psychological cost of aesthetic wealth. From beauty standards and lifestyle inflation to social media pressure and status signalling, we're asking whether modern success has quietly become another expensive subscription we never consciously signed up for.

We share our own experiences navigating entrepreneurship, social media and the wealth space, and why we're seeing more people question whether chasing the image of success is actually making them happier.

If you've ever felt pressure to keep up, upgrade your lifestyle, or present a version of success online, this conversation is for you.
